Guide: On-Premise
Practical guide for on-prem connectivity
Goal
Connect on-prem systems securely without delaying initial delivery.
The usual path: the MeinGPT Outpost
When files or internal systems must not leave the building, you install the Outpost on a machine in your network. It establishes the connection outward itself — no port is opened in your firewall, what it needs is outbound HTTPS to *.meingpt.com. For this case that settles the question of VPN or allowlisting.
What an Outpost is, system requirements, the free preview, and setup: Outpost overview.
When MeinGPT needs to reach a system directly
Some systems should not run through an Outpost but be reachable directly from MeinGPT Cloud. There are three connection models for that:
- IP allowlisting
- Enterprise Connection Network
- VPN
When to choose what
- fast and lean: IP allowlisting
- controlled enterprise connectivity: Enterprise Connection Network
- full tunnel into private networks: VPN
Practical rollout
- start with one system and one clear use case
- align the connection model with IT security — or establish that an Outpost makes it unnecessary
- expand system by system
