====== Tunnel Client Setup ======

To enter the tunnel section:
  - Login
  - Click on the ''TUNNELS'' section on the right-hand side of the screen


===== Client Setup =====
To add a client, you'll need the server information you'll be connecting to.  In this example, VE7NA is the server and VA7FI is the client.

VE7NA sent this information to VA7FI:
<code>
Wireguard Client connection details for VA7FI-hAPac3-1

Name: VA7FI-hAPac3-1
Wireguard key: [a long string of characters]
Network: 172.31.112.92:5525
Server address: rr.ve7na.ca
</code>

Note that the tunnel information provided may also be formatted like this (since the ''babel-20250925-a02d4ce3'' nightly build):

<code>
Wireguard Client connection details for VA7FI-hAPac3-1

Remote server name: rr.ve7na.ca
Wireguard key: [a long string of characters]
Network:Port: 172.31.112.92:5525
</code>

To enter this information
  - select ''Wireguard Client'' and click the <key>+</key>:{{  tunnelclient.png  }}
  - click ''Done''
  - select ''Commit''{{  tunnelcommit.png  }}


===== Toggle Switches =====
{{ :starting:tunneling:tunnel-config-toggles.png?nolink&400|}}
The boxes on the right of the tunnel configuration sections are "Toggle Switches" that control the state of the tunnel connection.  There are three possible states:
  - **Disabled**: A tunnel is configured but the system will **not** try to connect it.
  - Enabled and **Not Connected**: A tunnel has been configured, and it is available to be connected. The system will attempt to make this connection (after saving and committing your changes).
  - Enabled and **Connected**: A tunnel connection is configured and active.

If you are setting up your first tunnel, you will want it to be in one of the **Enabled** states.  It will show up initially in white (the Enabled and Not Connected state), and automatically turn to green when it makes a connection.
