NimbostratusVPN DTLS
Hi DevCentral,
I read that the performance when we use VPN (edge Client) can be improve if the DTLS is activated. Currently, we use only VPN through HTTPS. If I activate DTLS on the VPN profile and after creating a virtual server, how I can check if the tunnel is established with DTLS protocol ?
And currently, our F5 is behind a firewall. I have a rule to allow HTTPS from Internet to the public IP of our F5. I need to had a rule to allow UDP_4433 also between Internet and the F5 ?

In the EdgeClient
Details >> Connection Details
shows whether DTLS is being used.
It is also recorded in the APM logs.

Yes.
Jerome_CARRIERHello,
Thank you for your answer. When the dtls will be activated on the profile and the VS created, is it mandatory to create a new Edge install package and deploy it on the users laptops or the existing client already deployed on user computer will detect automatically the new configuration and based the communication with dtls protocol?

The client picks up the connection information when it connects, so you don't need to update the install package.
Make sure your client-ssl profile supports DTLSv1, as well.

we have this configuration about the client-ssl profile.. is-it correct ?

Looks good to me:
