4. To enable remote management by the command line interface (CLI) over Telnet, click Yes to

connect.
a. To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.
b. To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP address range.
Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.

5. Click Apply to have your changes take effect.
When accessing your VPN firewall from the Internet, the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) will be
enabled. You will enter https:// (not http://) and type your 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 8-7 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.
Note: The first time you remotely connect to the VPN firewall with a browser via SSL,
you may get a warning message regarding the SSL certificate. If you are using a
Windows computer with Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, simply click Yes to accept
the certificate.
Note: If you are unable to remotely connect to the VPN firewall after enabling HTTPS
remote management, check whether other user policies, such as the default user
policy, are preventing access.
