Staex v2: Internet Tunnels
Route all Internet-bound traffic through a gateway to hide client IP addresses.
Overview#
This type of tunnels is used to route all the traffic that goes to the Internet. This traffic goes from the clients in Staex network to the servers on the Internet. As we already mentioned sending this type of traffic directly to the Internet may leak mission-critical information. Internet tunnel prevents that by routing all the traffic (except local networks and Staex traffic itself) through a gateway. A gateway is a node in Staex network that forwards the packet from Staex network to the Internet and sends replies back. With the gateway DNS, NTP and other third-party servers will not see the actual IP address of the device, they will see the address of the gateway.
Internet tunnels work exactly the same as any VPNs that change your geographic location, but Staex gives you full control of both the client and the gateway node, meaning that Staex (as a company) will not see your real IP addresses either.
