Do I connect to the network from the web dashboard or the client app?
< 1 min read
1. Scenario / User Need #
Clarifying the functional division between administrative web account management and active network tunneling.
2. Technical Mechanism #
- Web Dashboard (Administrative Layer): Used exclusively for off-chain and on-chain balance top-ups, account security configuration, token minting, and B2B reseller management. It does not establish network tunnels.
- Client Application (Data Routing Layer): Interacts directly with the local OS kernel to create virtual network interfaces (TUN), handle microsecond cryptographic handshakes, and route encrypted packets to edge nodes.
3. Recommended Action #
- Log in to the Web Dashboard to purchase credits, generate tokens, or manage sub-reseller structures.
- Import generated access tokens into the BEX Client App (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) to toggle active VPN protection.
