Frequently Asked Questions

Konnect™ Access Server

How many devices can I use with KUY.io Konnect™ simultaneously?
Depending on your Konnect™ license, you can connect up to 250 devices (Pro) to a single Konnect™ server. If you are looking to deploy Konnect™ with more than 250 devices, our enterprise team will work with you to design and implement a personalized solution for your use-case.
How do I check if I have connected successfully?
After connecting to your Konnect™ access server, the device client application should indicate the connection status as 'active' and display diagnostic information about the connection, such as connection time, data transfer and peer status. Additionally, you can check the connection status through your Konnect™ User Portal, by navigating to your list of devices. Finally, you can check your public IP address by asking Google 'what is my ip'. The IP address displayed should be different from the one assigned to you by your internet provider.
How can I change my VPN password?
If your Konnect™ server account is a local account, you can change your password from your Profile page after logging in to the User Portal. If your Konnect™ servber account is an account synced from an external user directory, you cannot change your password on the 'Profile' page - instead ask your administrator about how you can change your password in your organization's central user directory.
What firewall ports do I need to open to use Konnect™ server?
We are aware that for IT professionals, one of the biggest risks of new technology deployments is the need to change firewall ports. KUY.io Konnect™ minimizes this impact, as only two ports are required for operation: HTTPS (443, TCP) and WG (51820, UDP). Compare that to over two dozen holes that you need to add to your firewall for something like IPSec and you can clearly see the advantages of a modern VPN.
What devices and platforms does Konnect™ server support?
Konnect™ server supports a broad range of devices and platforms. For a full list, please refer to our documentation of supported platforms.
What is a VPN?
VPN stands for virtual private network - a secure network tunnel between two or more devices. Connecting to a VPN gives you secure access through an encrypted connection not only to the internet, but also to the resources and any other networks, such as an office network, or cloud networks, connected to the VPN, as configured by your administrator.
What services can I access with Konnect™?
KUY.io Konnect™ aims at giving you secure access to all your services, as if you were locally present at your office - but from anywhere in the world. The particular set of services that you can access while connected to the virtual private network depends on the configuration of your Konnect™ server and the inter-connectivity between the Konnect™ server and any cloud or office networks that your administrator has configured.
Will using Konnect™ slow down my internet connection?
The network protocol used internally by KUY.io Konnect™ has been shown by independent measurements to have less than a 3% overhead on connection speed, making Konnect™ up to 10 times faster than other VPN solutions on the market. This means that you can connect online without any perceivable difference in your connection speed.
How secure is KUY.io Konnect™?
The network protocol that is used internally by KUY.io Konnect™ has been verified by independent security experts as the most secure VPN protocol that exists today. Konnect™ uses state of the art cryptographic algorithms and audited secure implementations of these algorithms. When it comes to the Konnect™ access server application stack itself, each release of Konnect™ server undergoes a plethora of automated security and vulnerability audits - from the source code to the finished Docker image. Please note however, that Konnect™ protects your data in transit and does not provide any form of endpoint security and cannot protect you against keyloggers, remote access trojans, rootkits or other forms of malware that target your device directly.
What makes KUY.io Konnect™ so special?
KUY.io Konnect™ takes your self-hosted VPN services to the next level by offering a simple, yet powerful user interface that makes deployment and management of enterprise virtual private networks based on the WireGuard® network protocol a breeze. With outstanding usability, and many new features that you won't find in other VPN solutions, Konnect™ allows enterprises and teams of all sizes to securely collaborate and connect to their office and cloud networks with confidence and speed.
