Configure Remote Management Access - NETGEAR UTM9S Reference Manual

Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP
addresses as practical.
• Deny or allow login access from specific browsers. By default, the administrator can log in
from any browser.
In general, these policy settings work well for an administrator. However, if you need to
change any of these policy settings, see

Configure Remote Management Access

An administrator can configure, upgrade, and check the status of the UTM over the Internet
through a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN connection.
Note: When remote management is enabled and administrative access
through a WAN interface is granted (see
page 365), the UTM's web management interface is accessible to
anyone who knows its IP address and default password. Because a
malicious WAN user can reconfigure the UTM and misuse it in many
ways, NETGEAR highly recommends that you change the admin
and guest default passwords before continuing (see
Passwords and Administrator and Guest Settings
