I plan to install the IIoT gateway and sensors on a remote factory (Potentially even in a different country) Is there a way I can access my gateway via SSH / Access the node red to update the sensor configuration without being nearby to connect to it via local wifi / ethernet. Would Ngrok / other tunneling solutions work? Are there tutorials to make this possible?
I would very highly recommend looking at the Atrium Gateway here:
It allows you to configure settings for the sensors through a web interface. It also allows for remote access via a cloud flare tunnel we host for you at no cost so you can access that web interface remotely and adjust settings on the sensors.
Thats good to know, but given i already purchased the regular Enterprise IIoT Gateway. Could i setup my own cloudflare tunnel
The gateway ui has OpenVPN as a default option, and they have a free trier.
Personally, I use Zerotier, a mesh VPN, to access the gateway remotely.
Tailscale is a great option too.
What ever you use the solution must have 32bit support.
Zerotier has and install script you execute in the shell
A custom rule needs to be added in the firewall settings of the gateway.
This is an example of my rule
-I INPUT -i ztredhetr -j ACCEPT
ztredhetr is the name of the VPN network interface and must match YOUR configuration.
