RAD provides AWS PrivateLink connectivity to enhance security and reduce data egress costs, enabling communication with the RAD Security platform without exposing traffic to the public internet.
AWS PrivateLink Architecture

​
Configuration Steps

Follow these five steps to setup an Interface Endpoint:

​
Step 1: Select Endpoint Type

Select Endpoint services that use NLBs and GWLBs

​
Step 2: Provide Service Name

Provide the Endpoint Service Name to create a new Interface Endpoint.
For regions other than us-west-2, enable Cross Region endpoint and select us-west-2.

​
Step 3: Select VPC

Choose your VPC for the Interface Endpoint installation.

​
Step 4: Configure DNS

Enable DNS Name to configure DNS for api.rad.security to point to the Interface Endpoint.

​
Step 5: Configure Security Groups

Configure security groups to allow traffic on port 443 to the Interface Endpoint.
RAD currently supports us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-1, and us-west-2. Contact RAD for other supported regions.

​
Verification

After endpoint creation (takes a few minutes), Private DNS automatically routes api.rad.security traffic through your VPC Interface Endpoint. Monitor CloudWatch metrics for active connections and data transmission.

​
Troubleshooting

​
DNS Resolution Check

nslookup api.rad.security
Should return a private IP address, not a public one.

​
Connectivity Test

nc -vz api.rad.security 443
Should connect successfully if endpoint and security groups are configured correctly.
