2. Click New to add a host.
3. Enter the host name or IP address in the Host address field.
4. In the Port field, enter the remote port number where the host has
a server socket listening.
5. Select the interface you want to use for the connection from the
Interface list.
6. In the Retry count field, enter the retry count, that is, how many
connection attempts will be made before switching to next host, if
any.
7. You can enter multiple hosts to act as backups for each other. If
connection to one of the hosts fails, the next one will be used.
Depending on the selection First remote access point, connection
will always be initially attempted to the first one or to the last
known functioning host.
