A Groundplex machine needs to be have network access to the endpoint from which data needs to be accessed. If the endpoint access is restricted, starting a Groundplex in the same network as the endpoint is the easiest solution. Since the Groundplex needs only outbound access to the SnapLogic control plane, the networking requirements are easiest to satisfy in this setup. The communication to the control plane can be direct, through a HTTP proxy or through a firewall whitelist.
If direct network access to the endpoint is not available from the Groundplex machine, it is possible to install third party or open source VPN software on the Groundplex node and enable connectivity, assuming there is a VPN server running. This would have to be done by the customer’s network operations team, this is not part of SnapLogic functionality.
