After I deploy Chronicle Forwarder on Linux or Windows. Does Chronicle Forwarder transmit my OS data to Chonicle through the Internet?

Can I establish a secure tunnel such as IPSec VPN between our data center and Chonicle to ensure data security and link stability?

Hi @pwckimmy - the data is sent from the forwarder to Chronicle via https so is using in-flight encryption.

Thank you for your answer.

Is it possible to create a vpn tunnel to make the link more stable.

Apologies for the slow response...


You can't deploy a VPN endpoint directly into Chronicle, but if your Forwarder is deployed in GCP you can route to Chronicle over Private Connect, so I assume you could do some routing wizardry to get from an on-premise Forwarder to GCP via VPN and then into Chronicle via Private Connect, but I have never tested a configuration like that.


This seems like adding needless complexity, tho.
