FVS338 ProSafe VPN Firewall 50 Reference Manual
To test the connection from a PC on the Internet, type http://<IP_address>, where <IP_address> is the public IP address you have mapped to your Web server. You should see the home page of your Web server.
Specifying an Exposed Host
Specifying an exposed host allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to anyone on the Internet for services that you have not yet defined.
To expose one of the PCs on your LAN as this host:
1.Create an inbound rule that allows all protocols.
2.Place the rule below all other inbound rules.
Note: For security, NETGEAR strongly recommends that you avoid creating an exposed host. When a computer is designated as the exposed host, it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network.
1.Select All protocols and ALLOW Always (or Allow by Schedule)
2.Place rule below all other inbound rules
