Network Setup

AWS PrivateLink is the primary option for Direct Market Access (DMA) network connectivity to the Bitnomial Exchange. This page covers PrivateLink setup, AWS Direct Connect onboarding, and VPN connectivity inquiries.

For connectivity requirements beyond the options below, contact help@exchange.bitnomial.com to discuss available arrangements.

AWS PrivateLink allows the exchange to share an AWS Network Load Balancer (NLB) with another AWS account easily.

The exchange needs the DMA participant's AWS account ID and the DMA participant needs the exchange's VPC Endpoint service name and ports for the various services. Contact help@exchange.bitnomial.com to exchange this information.

  1. Exchange adds DMA participant's AWS account to the list of authorized AWS accounts on the PrivateLink service
  2. The DMA participant adds an Interface type VPC Endpoint with the exchange's VPC Endpoint service name to their VPC with an appropriate security group.

AWS Direct Connect

AWS Direct Connect allows DMA participants to connect to AWS from their private datacenter over a fiber connection. Contact help@exchange.bitnomial.com to learn more about AWS Direct Connect onboarding.

VPN

Contact help@exchange.bitnomial.com to discuss VPN connectivity and request setup instructions.

Connectivity Checks

Firewalls need to allow TCP traffic from the order entry gateway/pricefeed IPs and ports that have been allocated. Customers can test exchange connectivity by attempting to login to their order entry gateway/pricefeed.

Note: ICMP messages (pings) are disabled.
