Hi all, I’m looking to understand a few items as I work on my first install. So right now I am trying to expose a LAN subnet to be accessible from the netmaker network. So far I’ve set up an egress inside the LAN and an ingress on my netmaker server in the cloud
Does this set up mean that the traffic is being routed over the VPS or is it going direct to the lan? (I don’t want to use bandwidth on the VPS)
I guess another way of asking is whether or not I will be using the ingress as a relay? (Thus using up VPS bandwidth)

or i should keep it as a coordination server

08/24/2022, 12:22 AMalright so external clients are they able to have access to multiple ingresses?
for example if i want my laptop to be able to access 5 sites, do i need a config for each site?

08/24/2022, 12:23 AMThey would need multiple conf files and would only be able to connect to one ingress at a time.

i am now able to ping the ingress server via its netmaker ip but am not able to get into the lan IP's
if i installed netclient on my laptop would i be able to access all of the LANs dynamically?
ive got the lan subnet defined in "egress gateway range"
im not able to hit those IP's right now
so doing a little more reading here, it looks like if i actually have netclient installed on my mac/windows machines they can have access to all of the mesh?
