Introduction to GateKeeper

GateKeeper is the user interface for WinGate. It is used for all operations on WinGate, all administration tasks, and any configuration you may do. GateKeeper has been designed to be easy to understand and use. You will find that some parts of GateKeeper are very similar to that of the NT user manager, including ‘Users’ and ‘Groups’.

GateKeeper is divided into two main sections. The ‘Activity’ pane on the left, and the ‘Configuration’ section on the right.

The four Buttons on the Tool bar are:

	Clicking this brings up the logon screen with the user name and server details last used, or logs you on directly.
	Clicking this to log off.
	This button brings up your online options. Press this while logged on to find out what server you are logged on to, or to change the logon options for the next time you log on.
	This button saves changes to disk when pressed.
