• The gateway machine should be placed between the internal network and the internet.
  
  
• Each client machine must be configured to use the internal NIC of the GFI WebMonitor server as its default gateway.
  
  
• The default gateway for the GFI WebMonitor server’s internal NIC should be the IP of the external NIC on the machine.
  
  
• The GFI WebMonitor server’s external NIC should have the default gateway of the next hop, such as the firewall, router, or SIP address.
  
  
• RRAS (Routing and Remote Access Service) role must be configured on the GFI WebMonitor server.

After Meeting the Requirements
