I have been using it for awhile. Been working great so far.

Cool, One thing I was curious about. I see the option for Internal and you put in the public IP of the location or build that the users go out through. But I was wondering what the external one is? I know it means external, but if you list all the internal IP, If it's not in the list I assume it classifies it at external? I was curious. I am sure it play into adaptive access as well. whole other thing I need to dig into soon.
k
I would ask your network team for the egress public IP and subnet

most of my IPs are a /32 for each of the VDI location
r
Okay, So it's the public IP of where the VDA lives not so much where the client is at?
k
correct
where the VDI in the datacenter is at
r
Thank you. I appreciate the information.
k
wait sorry
let me think about this again
r
np
it does say this "Direct Workload Connection configuration through Citrix Cloud involves creating network locations using the public IP address ranges of each branch location that your internal users connect from" I read that as the location of the client. But I may be mistaken.
k
it will be the location of the users office
r
Cool thanks man
k
I had to check been awhile
r
no worries
k
but if you missed a range they will just get routed to the gateway service
I like using the location service over the citrix policy that was release not too long ago. The Citrix policy has dependencies
r
Oh, I did not know there was a Citrix policy as well for that
k
Yeah to make it easier
but putting in an IP is easy enough hahah
r
yea I agree
k
if you would like smart access lite function. If you are coming from the gateway to apply this policy. You will need to ask Citrix to enable that function

Network Locations works good Ray. What the other person is talking about is the new"HDX Direct" which is the next iteration of this for intelligent direct connect detection, but only Network Locations allows you do the Adaptive Access policies/tagging.
HDX Direct only works with latest VDAs and CWA combo so not as much in the wild for that one yet for us seeing how good it works. just a few
r
Ahh HDX direct. That makes sense now. Thanks Oz for the extra information man. I appreciate it. Great stuff

@Ray Davis: I setup a client to use this feature last year, worked great, I was able to include benchmarks using my home lab and put it into this blog post here https://getvpro.com/2022/03/18/measuring-the-impact-of-direct-workload-connect-on-citrix-cloud-session-brokering-time-with-controlup-cqi/
