You can optionally specify a different TCP port number for users to access the
web portal login page through the HTTPS link. By default, the port number is
10443 and users can access the web portal login page using the following default
URL:
https://<FortiGate_IP_address>:10443/remote
where <FortiGate_IP_address> is the IP address of the FortiGate interface that
accepts connections from remote users.
Note: Do not select port number 443 for user access to the web portal login page. Port
number 443 is reserved to support administrative connections to the FortiGate unit through
the web-based manager.

The Tunnel IP Range fields on the VPN > SSL > Config page enable you to
reserve a range of IP addresses for remote SSL VPN clients. After the FortiGate
unit authenticates a request for a tunnel-mode connection, the SSL VPN client
connects to the FortiGate unit and is assigned an IP address from this range.
Afterward, the FortiGate unit uses the assigned address to communicate with the
SSL VPN client.
Caution: Take care to prevent overlapping IP addresses. Do not assign IP addresses that
!
are already in use on the private network. As a precaution, consider assigning IP
addresses from a network that is not commonly used (for example, 10.254.254.0/24).
