## Overview

The **Internet routing** tab draws the router's egress path as a diagram: LAN
clients on one side, the uplinks and VPN tunnels in the middle, the internet on
the other. Nodes are laid out in labelled columns and the edges show which
route traffic is actually taking versus which routes merely exist. It refreshes
every five seconds.

It is not just a picture. Clicking a VPN tunnel opens an editor where you can
enable or disable it, and enabling one makes it the active foreign gateway
while the others are switched off.

## Before you start

- The router has finished [Easy Config](/en/guides/nasnet-panel/easy-config/), because
  a router with no routing set up shows an empty canvas.
- Only VPN tunnels can be toggled here. Other node types are read-only.

## Steps

1. Open the **Internet** tab.
2. Read the diagram. A bright edge is an active link; a dim one is configured
   but idle; a travelling dot marks live traffic.
3. Click a VPN tunnel node to open its editor.
4. Enable or disable the tunnel and save. Enabling one tunnel points the
   foreign gateway at it and disables the other tunnels; a "VPN tunnel updated"
   toast confirms.

## Reference

| Legend item | Meaning |
| ----------- | ------- |
| Active link | This edge is carrying the current route. |
| Configured, idle | The link exists but traffic is not using it. |
| Live traffic | The animated dot on an edge. |
| Click a VPN tunnel to toggle | Only VPN nodes are interactive. |

## Troubleshooting

**"No routing topology configured for this router yet."** Nothing is set up to
draw. Run the Easy Config wizard first.

**"Not supported yet — only VPN tunnels can be toggled from this view."** You
clicked a node that is not a VPN tunnel.

**"Failed to load Internet topology".** The panel could not read the routing
state off the router. Check the connection and credentials.
