Administrative access is how an administrator can connect to the FortiGate unit to view
and change configuration settings. Two methods of administrative access are HTTPS and
SSH.
You can allow remote administration of the FortiGate unit running in NAT/Route mode, but
allowing remote administration from the Internet could compromise the security of the
FortiGate unit. You should avoid this unless it is required for your configuration.
