Wazuh Agent connection over public IP's

[Andrew A]

Any recommendations for securing connections between agent and manager utilizing public IP's instead of private IP's? Is Traffic between the two already secured with the default build?

Hi Andrew!

The communications between the Wauzh manager and its agents are encrypted by default. I recommend you to read the following links related to this:

- https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/getting-started/architecture.html#wazuh-agent-wazuh-server-communication

- https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/getting-started/components/wazuh-server.html#server-components

- https://wazuh.com/blog/benefits-of-using-aes-in-our-communications/

So it shouldn't be a problem if your manager has a public IP.

I hope that my answer helps you, please let us know if you still have any doubts.
