Bindings

Bindings are IP addresses and ports that the STLink listens on for incoming connections, and are generally considered the "client" ends of a SealedTunnel connection.

Each Binding on an STLink has a corresponding STLink Mapping where the connection will be routed on the receiving STLink. When you connect to an STLink Binding, the STLink receives the connection, wraps it in Xiid's triple-layer, quantum-secure encryption, and forwards the connection to the Xiid Connectors.

The corresponding STLink (Mapping) will then pull down the connection from the Connector, decrypt the data, and forward the connection on to the service waiting to receive the connection.

We recommend you follow the DNS Routing Integration, along with the Helper Text Guide, to make access through STLink Bindings as seamless and easy as possible.

The Bindings tab in the STLink Portal provides you with a list of all available Bindings on the STLink. The key pieces of information are the Description and Resource available locally on (Binding) columns.
