Cluster mode component behind Loadbalancer
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2026 9:05 pm
Hi There,
I am setting up SE cluster for VPN architecture this will be on AWS and i will be having NLB in front and all tunnels will go to VPN /SE server via the NLB. My question is in cluster mode , do i need to send all traffic to SE vpn controller ? or just to the workers node and controller only will manage load distribution and sessions ? that means traffic flow would be " SE client --> AWS NLB--> SE CLuster controller --> SE vpn Server/s" ?
OR
"SE clients -->AWS NLB--> SE cluster worker nodes "?
Some document mentioned it would be the controller behind the loadbalancer, curious to know how the load will distribute then ? I am working on a very large scale implementation.
Please let me know if any questions
Thanks
