NowConnect — Visual Guide​

This page gives a visual overview of how NowConnect works, from tunnel setup to data flow and connection lifecycle.

Components and Data Flow​

Tunnel Establishment (Auth + HELLO)​

Connection Lifecycle (per cid)​

Mapping Many Backends (example: LDAPS)​

Health and Readiness​

Tips:

  • Keep max_ws_payload modest (e.g., 8KB) and queues bounded for stable memory.
  • Enable connector scopes and PDP only when needed; both are feature‑flagged.
  • Use NC_CA_BUNDLE and NC_TRUST_ENV=true for corporate proxy/TLS interception environments.
