Staex v2: Regular Tunnels
The most common tunnel type — client-to-server traffic inside the Staex overlay network.
Overview#
This type of tunnels is the most common one. They go from clients to specific servers inside Staex overlay network. They use unique pair of encryption keys to encrypt the traffic and to establish mutual trust between the client and the server endpoint. You also have to specify exact protocol and port that a packet should use. If a packet fully matches tunnel specification, it is allowed to be sent and received. Otherwise, the packets is silently dropped. Thanks to unique keys you can selectively deactivate an individual tunnel (prohibit any traffic temporarily) without affecting others.
We consider regular tunnels the main building block of the network.
