Sites
A site is a geographical location, data center, or cloud service, that connects to the service using traffic tunneling. Sites represent your private application hosting locations.
The Administration > Sites page lists the sites and connections configured for your account, and displays the current status of your site connections.
Private application hosting sites are connected to the service using IPsec tunnel connectivity. Connect the site to a Forcepoint gateway IP address or region-specific hostname using pre-shared key authentication.
The Sites screen displays the following information for each site.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | A user-defined name for the site. |
| Description | An optional user-defined description for the site. |
| Private Access | A setting that enables the site for inbound private application traffic. |
| Connection | The connection(s) configured for this site. Forcepoint recommends that each site should be configured with more than one connection for redundancy. |
| Status | The current connectivity status for the tunnel:
Note: Private application hosting site connections are configured as active-active. For a site with two tunnels, either connection can be active. Connections that have not seen any traffic
will continue to display Not connected until traffic has passed through the tunnel.

Click a row in the table to open details of the connections configured for that site.
In the connection configuration panel, your router details and tunnel connectivity settings are displayed for each connection. Use these settings to configure your edge device for connectivity to the service.
