About Remote Access
When remote management is enabled, you need to use an SSL connection to access the
VPN firewall from the Internet. You need to enter https:// (not http://) and type the VPN
firewall's WAN IP address and port number in your browser. For example, if the 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 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.
Concerning security, note the following:
• For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical. See
Set User Login Policies
by IP address.
• To maintain security, the VPN firewall rejects a login that uses http://address rather than
the SSL https://address.
• The first time that you remotely connect to the VPN firewall with a browser through an
SSL connection, you might get a warning message regarding the SSL certificate. If you
are using a Windows computer with Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, click Yes to accept the
certificate.
