If this box is not ticked, you will have to click on the Refresh button every time you want to refresh the software and update the contents.
There is a Refresh button in the top right corner on all the tabs in the software (except the Configuration tab).
Auto-Refresh Interval (s)
This setting will only be available when the Auto-Refresh setting has been enabled.
You can set a specific time interval for the software to refresh. It will be set to 15 seconds by default.
The more frequent these updates are the more data traffic will occur, which can affect the stability. We recommend that you use minimum 10 seconds.
You can use the arrow buttons next to the field to increase/decrease the time or you can type it directly into the field.
- ►Configuration
-
The Configuration settings apply to the master configuration location and data storage. The default master configuration location is the computer you are currently working and the default data storage location is set as a TunnelSat directory on the loacal computer.
PC Name:
If you want to change the master configuration location to a different computer, you can enter the friendly name or IP address to the new master configuration location in this field.
Data Path:
If you want to change the directory used for the master configuration data storage, enter the path to the new directory in this field.
- ►Monitoring

The Monitoring settings apply to the Monitoring Service(s) that is performing the status monitoring of the TunnelSat system. These settings will need to be deployed to take effect. They are, therefore, only available to edit in the Settings on the Configuration tab.
