Citrix SD-WAN WANOP

Citrix SD-WAN WANOP client plug-in

The Citrix WANOP Client Plug-in is a software based network accelerator that runs on Windows laptops and workstations, providing acceleration anywhere, not just at offices with WANOP appliances. It is ideal for remote workers. It connects to a Citrix WANOP appliance at the other end of the link (typically in the data center or cloud).

The principles of WANOP Client Plug-in operation are generally the same as those of a WANOP appliance. For topics not included in the plug-in documentation, see the larger documentation set.

The plug-in is distributed as a standard Microsoft installation file (MSI). Plug-in deployment requires some plug-in specific configuration of the WANOP appliances at the other ends of the links. If you customize the MSI file with the DNS or IP addresses of the WANOP appliances, and a few other parameters, your users do not have to enter any configuration information when installing the plug-in on their Windows computers.
