Certificate
To use the secured TLS or MTLS network protocols, you will need a server certificate. This certificate must have been signed by a certification authority. Click on the "Certificate..." button to open a window for selecting a certificate. Then, select the appropriate certificate and confirm it by clicking the OK button. Information about the selected server certificate will then be displayed.

- UDP (User Datagram Protokoll)
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
- TLS (Transport Layer Security)
- MTLS (Mutual Transport Layer Security)
To change the type of protocol for a network interface, select the interface and then click on the Properties... button. For secured network protocols, you will also require a server certificate for using secured network interfaces. Further information regarding certificates can be found under Server Certificates.
-
Status

You can configure the list of network interfaces. Click the Add... button to add another network interface to the list. Click the Delete button to remove one or more network interfaces for your list. Click the Properties... button to display the properties for the network interface and to make adjustments to that network interface.
-
Add...
Click this button to add another network interface to the list. A new dialog will be opened, from which you can set the properties for the new network interface. Further information about network interface properties and how to set them can be found in the Network Interface List section.
-
Remove
Click on this button to remove network interfaces from your list. You can only do this if at least one network interface was marked on the list. A message dialog will then request that you confirm the removal of the network interface you selected. Click the OK button to confirm the deletion. Click the Cancel button to stop the removal process.
