Glossary

Domain

A configurable network access instance, such as FRP, or None. All domain data channels run within the app and do not affect other apps' network traffic.

Resource

A specific service entry attached to a domain, such as Web, SSH, SMB, or VNC.

None

Direct connection domain. Does not start any in-app data channel and uses the system network directly.

STCP / XTCP

Visitor types in FRP used for secure access to internal network services. OmniGate configures visitors at the resource layer.

## Tailnet

A Tailscale network. After devices log into the same Tailnet, they can communicate with each other via Tailscale-assigned addresses or MagicDNS.

Headscale

An open-source implementation of the Tailscale control server.

Network ID

The ZeroTier network ID. Required when joining a ZeroTier network.

SFTP

A file transfer protocol based on SSH. OmniGate enters file management mode by enabling the SFTP toggle on an SSH resource.

rz/sz

A terminal file transfer method based on ZMODEM, commonly used with SSH jump servers and serial terminals.

App Transport Security

iOS network security policy. It may block unencrypted HTTP or connections that do not meet security requirements.

Configuration Backup

An OmniGate Pro feature. Exports all configurations (domains, resources, SSH private keys, preferences) as a signed JSON file. Can be used for device migration or regular backups to prevent data loss.

HMAC-SHA256

The signing algorithm used for configuration backups. Used to verify that backup files have not been tampered with or corrupted. If the signature does not match during import, the restore will be rejected.
