Network Configuration
Overview
Origin printers establish TLS secured connections via a VPN tunnel to the Origin Cloud, which
is deployed within Google Cloud Platform.
Each Origin printer creates and operates an internal VPN gateway, and connects to a single
Stratasys-operated VPN gateway in Google Cloud Platform over UDP. No additional VPN
appliance or customer-managed gateway is necessary.
Stratasys strongly recommends connecting printers to the Origin cloud platform via VPN
because it is secure and robust, simple to configure, and has zero maintenance overhead.
With this method, all communication is protected by an additional layer of end-to-end
encryption and authentication.
VPNs are the preferred networking solution by every major cloud provider for interconnection
between on-premise and cloud networks (see documentation from Amazon, Google, Microsoft,
and IBM).
This section should be forwarded to your appropriate IT personnel ahead of
installation for appropriate review as well as proper firewall configuration. Once your
network and firewall are appropriately configured, contact your Stratasys
representative to review and confirm the configuration.
