Principles of customization

Gatekeeper is a complex piece of technology. It is hardly possible to install and run it based only on the instructions. Therefore, first of all, it is important that the installation is engaged in a professional. In addition, it is worth spending time to train users who will use the network with Gatekeeper already installed.

The period of testing the program is better to conduct in the internal network. At the same time, computers and other devices that will have access to the network are being tested. The testing period of the program is better spent on the internal network.
