It is possible to run your own private Bridge Gateway. You can use a DMZ Server for this with some additional configuration.

Add the following <Call name="addApplication">... </Call> block to the file GATEWAY_INSTALLATION_FOLDER>/etc/startup_dmz.xml

Parameter:

gatewayBaseEndpoint: Address of the DMZ/Gateway as seen from the Lobster Platform. This is the URL where the platform sends its requests to bridges.
gatewayHost: This is the tunnel address, which is used by the Bridge to establish a tunnel.

DMZ/Gateway memory settings

The DMZ memory settings may have to be increased:

This are the minimal recommended memory settings for the JVM with a private DMZ/Gateway:

Operation system 8gb RAM
Java Heap Memory 4gb
Java DirectMemory 1gb

JVM parameter:

-Xms4096M -Xmx4096M -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=1024M

Linux

./bin/execute.sh

JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xms4096M -Xmx4096M -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=1024M -server ...

Windows console

./bin/hub.bat

set OPTIONS=-Xms4096M -Xmx4096M -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=1024M -server ...

Windows Service

./etc/wrapper.conf

...
# Initial Java Heap Size (in MB)
wrapper.java.initmemory=4096
# Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB)
wrapper.java.maxmemory=4096
...
wrapper.java.additional.<some number>=-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=1024M
