The Agent#
The agent is a software component that you install on your VPN servers. Its primary role is to act as an intermediary between the Hexallion admin panel and your server infrastructure. The agent is responsible for executing commands, reporting status updates, and managing the server's configuration as directed by the admin panel. This automation simplifies server management tasks and ensures that your servers are always aligned with your desired configurations.Key Functions of the Agent:Deployment and Configuration: Automates the installation and configuration of VPN protocols and other software on the server.
Status Reporting: Continuously monitors server health and status, sending real-time updates to the admin panel.
Task Execution: Executes commands sent from the admin panel, such as starting or stopping services, updating configurations, and installing updates.
Caption: The agent facilitates seamless communication and management between the Hexallion admin panel and your servers.The Client#
The client refers to the software or application used by the end-users to connect to the VPN service. Clients are configured to connect to the VPN servers managed by Hexallion, providing secure and private internet access to the users. Depending on the VPN protocol in use (e.g., OpenVPN, WireGuard), the client software will vary but will typically include configuration files or credentials provided by the Hexallion platform.Key Functions of the Client:Connection Establishment: Facilitates a secure connection between the user's device and the VPN server.
Configuration Management: Utilizes configuration files or credentials provided by Hexallion to establish and maintain the VPN connection.
User Interface: Provides a user-friendly interface for end-users to connect, disconnect, and manage their VPN connections.
How They Work Together#
The agent and client work together to ensure a smooth and efficient VPN service. Here’s how the process typically flows:1.
Agent Installation: You begin by installing the Hexallion agent on your VPN servers through the admin panel. The agent sets up the necessary configurations and continuously communicates with the admin panel.
2.
Server Management: The admin panel sends commands to the agent for server management tasks such as installing VPN protocols, configuring security settings, and monitoring server health.
3.
Client Configuration: End-users receive client configuration files or credentials from Hexallion. These configurations are often downloaded directly from the user’s Hexallion account or provided by the service provider.
4.
Establishing Connections: End-users use the client software to connect to the VPN servers. The client uses the configuration provided to establish a secure connection, enabling private and secure internet access.

The agent-client model offers several benefits:Automation: Reduces manual intervention by automating server configurations and updates.
Scalability: Easily manage a large number of servers and clients through centralized control.
Security: Ensures secure communication between servers and clients, maintaining the integrity and privacy of user data.
Efficiency: Streamlines operations, allowing administrators to focus on strategic tasks rather than routine management.
Caption: The interaction between end-users, clients, agents, and the admin panel ensures efficient and secure VPN service management.
