About Remote Access

When remote management is enabled, you need to use an SSL connection to access the wireless VPN firewall from the Internet. You need to enter https:// (not http://) and type the wireless VPN firewall’s WAN IP address and port number in your browser. For example, if the wireless VPN firewall’s WAN IP address is 192.168.15.175 and the port number is 443, type the following in your browser: https://192.168.15.175:443.

The wireless VPN firewall’s remote login URL is:

https://<IP_address>:<port_number> or

https://<FullyQualifiedDomainName>:<port_number>

The IP address can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

With respect to security, note the following:

•For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical. See Set User Login Policies on page 306 for instructions on restricting administrator access by IP address.
