To take advantage of all available features, you must route HTTPS incoming connections on port 443 to the Barracuda SSL VPN. This is typically achieved by configuring your corporate firewall to port forward SSL connections directly to the Barracuda SSL VPN.
Note: The Appliance Administrator Web interface ports on 8000/8443 will also need similar port forward configurations if you intend to manage the appliance from outside the corporate network.
