The Tunnel Client is designed to be the focal point for Syslog data from any number of devices. It is designed to concentrate the data being sent to it into a single encrypted data stream that is sent to the Tunnel Server.
The Client can accept connections by devices using UDP and TCP protocols. It can listen on up to 10 ports for UDP and 10 ports for TCP (registered version). Further, multiple connections are supported on the TCP ports, so that up to 64 simultaneous connections are possible using TCP***.
The Tunnel Client is made up of 2 separate components, the Manager and the Service.
The Manager provides the user interface of the Client. It shows statistics and status. It also allows you to manage the configuration of the Client.
The Service is the data engine of the Tunnel Client. It runs as an operating system service. Once it is installed, it is started automatically by the operating system when the system boots up.
