2. The gateway will launch and connect to your network services.
3. The gateway runs quietly and monitors traffic in the background.
4. You may see a simple window showing status and logs.
5. To close the program, use the close button or right-click the icon in the system tray.

🔒 How Authentication Works

The program requires users to identify themselves before accessing services. This step ensures that only allowed users can use your services.

• You or your system administrator set user names and passwords.
• When someone tries to connect to a service, they will need to enter their credentials.
• The gateway checks these details and either allows or blocks access.

⏱️ Understanding Rate Limiting

Rate limiting stops users or devices from sending too many requests in a short time. This helps avoid slowdowns caused by overload.

• You can set limits on how many requests are allowed in a minute or hour.
• If a user exceeds the limit, the gateway will block extra requests until the time resets.
• This keeps your system stable and responsive for everyone.

📋 Basic Settings and Configuration

The program uses simple default settings that work for most users. If needed, you can change settings by editing one file:

• Look for a file called config.json in the program folder.
• Open it using a text editor like Notepad.
• Here, you can change the rate limit numbers or add user accounts.
• Save the file and restart the program to apply changes.

🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips

If the program does not start or work correctly, try these steps:

• Make sure you have Windows 10 or later installed.
• Check that you ran the program as an administrator.
• Confirm the program is allowed through your firewall or security software.
• Restart your computer and try launching again.
• Check the log files (found in the program folder) for error messages.
• Make sure the config file is saved with the correct changes and no extra symbols.
