Syntax

The Connect Method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description

Hostname	Required. A String value. Holds the Hostname or the IP address of remote wodVPN.
Port	Required. A Long value. Holds the port of remote wodVPN.

Remarks

The Connect method will try to connect to remote wodVPN. Connection is made with UDP packets, so no persistent TCP connection is ever made. Rather, wodVPN implements "reliable UDP" connection between two peers, and forwards all traffic through it.

In order for Connect to be successful, you should provide Hostname and Port where remote wodVPN listens for incoming connections. It is assumed you have somehow retrieved that information, but if it is not known, you should use Search method to obtain that information.

If local wodVPN connects to remote wodVPN, Connected event will be fired. Initial "handshake" will be performed prior to firing Connected event. All packets that are sent to remote side are encrypted using AES algorithm using key set in the Password property. Both sides, of course, must use same password otherwise remote peer's data is unreadable.

Once Connected event is fired, you can Add new channels and start forwarding traffic.
