Private Network Connector
Connectors are lightweight agents that sit on a server in a private network and facilitate the outbound connection to the Global Secure Access service. Connectors must be installed on a Windows Server that has access to the backend resources and applications. You can organize connectors into connector groups, with each group handling traffic to specific applications.

Tips for avoiding issues on your POCs
-
Avoid placing connectors on DMZ networks, instead consider placing the connector/s servers on a network location close to the resources you are planning to make available through Private Access.
-
Avoid using proxy servers to provide connector access to Internet. If you must, then consider TLS inspection and proxy authentication are not supported and will break connectivity with the Private Access service.
-
Make sure your firewalls are not doing TLS inspection.
