Use Linux ONLY for your Connector!!

Post by lciadmin » Wed Feb 09, 2022 9:11 pm

We had two Windows Server 2019 boxes with the Connector and all required software. No matter what we tried with routing, DNS, etc, the performance was unholy. I thought our staff was going to kill us for switching to cloud based version.

I convinced my boss that going Windows was a mistake, threw up two clean Ubuntu 20.04 servers, installed the connector, enabled IPv4 forwarding and NAT and BOOM, everything is stable as can be, over 100 users finally happy with us.

Do yourself a favor and do not use a Windows server.
