+"A 3node becomes a gateway when a Threefold farmer adds a public IP address to the node itself on the Threefold Dashboard. In doing so, the IP address is then handed over to the base operating system of the node itself. The IP address can then be used in the overall functions of the TF Grid."

+
+You can configure your 3Nodes to become 'gateway nodes' in a few simple steps. Find out how by watching [Drew's video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axvKipK7MQM&feature=youtu.be) about it, or by reading [Mik's summary](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-is-a-3node-gateway-how-can-i-configure-a-3node-as-a-gateway-node/3766) of the video - or doing both!

+
+<br/> 
+
+"We have been testing the farmerbot the last couple of days. The farmerbot was able to shutdown 2 nodes on its own which is a good thing. But we noticed that shutting down the second node took over 30 minutes which is not what we expected. After some investigation we noticed a small issue that we are fixing right now.
+
+<br/>
+
+Thank you for your patience. We will be continuing our tests once this issue is fixed and keep you up to date."
