Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting SSL VPN


Billing

If you are concerned about your billing statement for SSL VPN devices (members), consider that:

  • You may have members in other data centers. In the top menu, there is a drop-down menu that you can use to switch across different data center views. As a result, when you switch to a different data center view, you may see additional members.

  • If you have the same SSL VPN member in multiple data centers, you will only be billed for the one member. For example, if you have one member in DFW01 and the same member in LHR01, then you will only be billed for one member; however, if you have multiple members in a single data center location, then you will be charged for those additional members.

    • In short, you will be billed for every unique member, regardless of how many data centers are included.
