For accessing your VPN firewall from the Internet, the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) will be
enabled. You will enter https:// (not http://) and type your VPN firewall’s WAN IP address into
your browser. For example, if your WAN IP address is 172.16.0.123, type the following in your
browser: https://172.16.0.123.
The VPN firewall’s remote login URL is https://<IP_address> or
https://<FullyQualifiedDomainName>.
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as
practical. See “Setting User Login Policies” on page 7-7 for instructions on
restricting administrator access. Be sure to use strong passwords.
Note: To maintain security, the VPN firewall will reject a login that uses http://address
rather than the SSL https://address.
