    Tunnel server ip and port (UDP/TCP). This is the endpoint for gateway. Client will reach joined gateways through this endpoint.

Gateway

Gateway is a door (tunnel server) that listens on a $PORT, and opens the door to virtual networks. When a gateway is seen on a cluster, it will wait to join a Network. Each gateway binds to a FerrumGate Network. If you want to activate a gateway bind to a FerrumGate network.
