Introduction

Welcome to the Knocknoc Admin Guide.

This is an advanced guide and covers installation, administration, tuning and troubleshooting. For general access guides, here is the simplified User Guide.

Knocknoc is an important component in reducing your attack surface, andit allows you fine grained control over what resources each of your users can access. In most cases users are generally expected to authenticate to the target resources as well, with this in mind consider Knocknoc as part of a comprehensive defence strategy. In other cases, like video feeds, or SIP connections, extra authentication isn't workable, so you need to decide as part of your security strategy how to manage these risks. 

This is an advanced guide and covers installation, administration, tuning and troubleshooting. For general access guides, here is the simplified User Guide.
