Quick Installation Guide
Welcome to Zenconsole.
Zenarmor is built on a Plug.SASE.Everywhere architecture, allowing security services to be deployed directly where protection is needed, on endpoints, gateways, edge environments, or cloud infrastructure, without requiring additional hardware appliances or complex cloud redirection.
Figure 1. Zenconsole - Organization Dashboard View
This approach helps organizations achieve fast deployment, centralized visibility, consistent policy enforcement, and secure connectivity across distributed environments.
This guide is designed to help you complete your first Zenarmor deployment and understand the initial onboarding experience inside Zenconsole.
After completing the registration or trial activation process, you are redirected to the Zenconsole onboarding page. This page serves as the starting point of your Zenarmor deployment journey and helps you complete your initial setup steps quickly.
Figure 2. Onboarding Page
From the onboarding page, you can choose the deployment option that best fits your environment and deployment needs.
Add your first endpoint
The Add your first endpoint option allows you to protect individual devices such as laptops, desktops, and remote user systems with Zenarmor endpoint protection.
Adding endpoints enables Zenarmor to apply security policies, provide visibility into device activity, enforce secure connectivity, and protect users regardless of their location or network environment.
To add your first endpoint, follow the steps below:
-
Open your browser and navigate to Zenconsole.
-
Sign in using your Zenconsole credentials.
-
Select the Add your first endpoint tab from the onboarding page. You can also add gateways later from the Global Deployments section using the Add Endpoint button.
Figure 3. Add your first endpoint
-
Choose your preferred endpoint platform, such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS.
Figure 4. Supported Platforms
-
Select the deployment method that best fits your environment. Depending on the platform, available methods may include MSI installers, script-based deployment, Microsoft Store, Apple App Store, or other supported installation options.
Figure 5. Deployment Methods
-
Install the endpoint using the selected deployment method.
-
Once the installation is completed, launch the Zenarmor Endpoint application on your device.
Figure 6. Signing-in Organization
-
Enter your Organization ID (for example:
sunnyvalley) to connect the endpoint to your Zenconsole organization.tipYou can find your Organization ID at the top of the Zenconsole dashboard, next to your organization name. This value is required when registering endpoints to your organization.

Figure 8. Redirecting Organization Sign-in Page on Zenconsole
-
Click Continue. You will be redirected to your organization's sign-in page.
-
After successfully signing in, you will be redirected back to the Zenarmor Endpoint application.
-
Click Open Zenarmor to complete the endpoint activation process.
Figure 9. Zenarmor Endpoint Activation

Detailed deployment and endpoint registration guides are available in the Zenarmor documentation:
Add your first gateway
The Add your first gateway option allows you to transform your existing firewall or network environment into a fully capable network security enforcement edge with Zenarmor protection.
Adding gateways enables Zenarmor to inspect and secure network traffic, enforce internet and security policies, provide centralized visibility, and protect users and connected environments across your organization.
To add your first gateway, follow the steps below:
-
Open your browser and navigate to Zenconsole.
-
Sign in using your Zenconsole credentials.
-
Select the Add your first gateway tab from the onboarding page. You can also add gateways later from the Global Deployments section using the Add Gateway button.
Figure 11. Add your first gateway
-
Choose the supported firewall or gateway platform you want to deploy Zenarmor on.
Figure 12. Supported Platforms
-
Select the deployment method that best fits your environment. Depending on the selected platform, available methods may include one-time installation scripts, reusable installation scripts, or other supported deployment methods.
Figure 13. Deployment Methods
-
Copy the provided installation or provisioning script from the onboarding page.
-
Run the installation script on the selected gateway environment with administrator or root privileges.
-
Complete the installation and provisioning process on the selected gateway environment.
-
After the installation and provisioning process is completed, locate your newly added gateway under the Pending Gateways section in the left-hand navigation panel.
Figure 14. Organization Dashboard - Pending Gateways
-
Select the gateway to launch the Gateway Integration Wizard.
-
In the Name step, configure the following settings:
a. Gateway Name → Enter a descriptive name for your gateway. This name will be displayed throughout Zenconsole dashboards and deployment views.
b. Gateway Slug → A unique identifier automatically generated from the gateway name. The slug must be unique within your organization and can be customized if needed.
Figure 15. Gateway Integration Wizard
-
Continue completing the remaining Gateway Integration Wizard steps based on your deployment requirements.

- Once the setup is completed, the gateway will appear in the Global Deployments section in Zenconsole, allowing you to centrally manage and monitor the deployment from anywhere.
Detailed gateway deployment and provisioning guides are available in the Zenarmor documentation:
