Individual Subscription Setup

    Subscription Selection, Setup and Configuration

    Each individual subscription has its own Setup page. The Setup page is the central location for managing and configuring each individual XLRoutes subscription.

    If you have multiple subscriptions, you can toggle between multiple subscriptions by selecting them from the drop-down selector in the upper right corner.

    Title

    Subscription Information

    Each subscription has the following unique settings information:

    XLRoutes Subscription UserName: The XLRoutes username for your subscription.

    Proxy: The XLRoutes proxy your static IP’s are hosted on within the XLRoutes system.

    If you need us to move you to a different proxy, or want to have different IP’s for a subscription, we can do that for you when you contact XLRoutes Support.

    Plan: The current usage plan for your subscription, based on the expected usage for the current calendar month.

    Inbound and Outbound Proxies

    Each individual subscription can be setup either as an Outbound proxy or an Inbound proxy.

    On this page, you can begin to start working on configuring whichever option you want for each subscription.

    Title

    Outbound Connection Settings

        Enabled: True/False

        Connection Information: Click to retrieve all the Outbound proxy connection information.

        XLR Tunnel Configuration: QGTunnel, an extremely versatile wrapper programmer for your application process, can be setup at this link. QGTunnel allows you to map one or more local ports to route through the XLRoutes proxy servers.

    If you are configuring an outbound connection, please click on Connection Information to get started.

    If you need to map one or more local ports to route through the XLRoutes proxy servers, click on the QGTunnel Configuration link to setup that routing.

    We have many help pages in this documentation area to assist with setting up QGTunnel. Please check out Language/Platform section of our Documentation to find configuration guides for your unique endpoints or programming language to get started.

    Inbound Connection Settings

    Inbound Proxies allow an HTTPS client to reach your application utilizing static IP addresses.

    To complete the setup, you MUST create a DNS CNAME record with your DNS provider.

    The Configure Inbound Proxies link will walk you through the Inbound Proxy setup. To get started with setting up an Inbound Proxy, you will need to follow one of these two sets of directions depending on your XLRoutes service:

       A) For XL Routes Static, please see Getting Started With XL Routes Static’s IP Inbound Proxy.

       B) For XL Routes Shield, please see Getting Started With XL Routes Shield’s IP Inbound Proxy.

    Proxy Type / Dedicated Proxy

    Dedicated Proxies are configurable on Enterprise plans (or higher) for all customers.

    Dedicated proxies are not automatically provisioned, as many customers do not desire such a change, as that causes your Static IP’s to change. (See What Happens When I Switch from a Shared Proxy to a Dedicated Proxy?)

    Therefore, to request a Dedicated Proxy - after upgrading to the Enterprise Plan - please send an email to XLRoutes Support.

    If you reach a point where you can’t find a setup solution in our documentation, please write us at XLRoutes Support. We’ve seen thousands of different use cases and can likely very quickly get you up and running.
