# Ingress

> The ways traffic enters the gateway.

Ingress is simply how requests enter the gateway: channels or HTTP.

Ingress is the set of entry points into the gateway. Most users interact through channels (Telegram, WhatsApp), but you can also use HTTP.

## Channels (people talking)

* [Channels overview](/channels)

## HTTP (requests from apps)

* [HTTP entry points](/ingress/http)

## Local control

The CLI uses a local control API to operate the gateway. It is not intended for direct third-party use.
