Summary

In a complex business environment, companies rely on private networks for data security, but accessing data remotely or connecting multiple private environments can be challenging. The guide provides instructions for creating a Tines Tunnel to facilitate traffic routing from Tines to a private API or network, specifically using an AWS Amazon Linux EC2 instance with Docker. The process involves provisioning a Tunnel through Tines support, launching and configuring an EC2 instance in the correct network, installing and running Docker, and setting up security measures to ensure proper functionality. Once the Tunnel is operational, users can execute HTTP Request Actions through it within their Tines tenant. Troubleshooting tips are provided for common issues like connection errors and network timeouts, emphasizing the importance of proper Docker and firewall configurations.
