Michelangelo Gateway
Select the TCP protocol.
Enter a suitable name.
Enter the IP Address of your VPN Server.
Enter the port numbers used by your VPN software - normally 1723 for both the internal and external port.
Once this is done, Michelangelo Gateway is transparent. Simply configure and use your VPN software as described in the VPN software
documentation.
Exposed Computer
This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication
between the "Exposed Computer" and other Internet users or Servers.
This allows connection to special-purpose servers which require proprietary client software, or 2-way user connections such as Video-conferencing,
which requires both users to run special software.
Internet users will see the PC as having the IP Address allocated by ISP shown on the Quick Setup screen of this device. (This is the same
IP Address used by the Virtual Servers.)
Any Internet user who knows this address can connect to the Exposed Computer. (What happens after connection depends on what
software both computers are using).
To allow unrestricted access, the Firewall in this device is disabled, creating a security risk.
You should use this feature only if the "Special Applications" feature is insufficient to allow an application to function correctly.
This feature should be enabled only when required.
Operation
Enter the IP Address of the PC on your LAN which you wish to be the Exposed Computer.
Enable this feature as and when required by clicking Save.
