Silk Central Connect is based on Silk Central's architecture. Additionally, it allows you to use cloud-based execution servers. If you are testing an internal Web application on your intranet using cloud-based execution servers, you can configure the tunnel settings for local intranet website testing. With this setting, the Silk Central application server opens a tunnel to cloud-based execution servers and acts as a proxy to allow testing a website in your local intranet. Note that this option is slower than a direct connection, so only select it if needed.
