Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to resolve them.

Issue What to Do
Proxy is active but no traffic is flowing Verify your DNS or clients are actually pointing at the staple IP. Confirm your origin is accepting connections from GatewaySentry's edge IPs — some firewalls need to be updated to allow this.
Origin sees GatewaySentry's IP instead of the real client You're on Reverse Proxy mode. Switch to Reverse Proxy + PROXY Protocol or one of the tunnel modes. See the Proxy Modes Reference.
GRE tunnel won't come up Confirm your network allows IP protocol 47 (GRE). Some cloud providers block it by default. Try FOU Tunnel as an alternative.
Cannot edit Destination IP The proxy must be deactivated before the destination can be changed. Click deactivate, edit, then reactivate. See Editing Your Configuration.
Cannot change anything on this staple IP Your staple IP may be managed — contact support for assistance.
Lost or need to rotate the Customer Key Contact GatewaySentry Support.
