After creating the TLS server gateway configuration and the import of the .zip package on the client gateway, the connection can be started. To start a connection, it needs to be set a hook in the area "client status and control" under "Action" .
Since Core 61, the Management Interface is integrated which indicates the connection status in real time over the webinterface.
In this example, a couple of status messages of the connections can be seen.
- CONNECTED - is shown when the connection was established.
- DISCONNECTED - When the connection is disconnected.
- AUTH - Indicates the authentication process.
- RESOLVE - Points out that the address can not be resolved.
Check the tunnel state over the logs

Or for the second possibility there is a good explanation findable in here
