Configuring Firewall Settings
76 WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
Creating an Unrestricted Pass Through
The Firebox® X Edge can allow traffic to flow from the external net-
work to a computer on the trusted network that has a public IP
address.
Follow these steps to configure a pass through:
1 Type the IP address of the trusted network in your browser
window to connect to the System Status page of the Firebox X
Edge.
The default IP address is: https://192.168.111.1
2 From the navigation bar at left, select Firewall => Pass Through.
The Unrestricted Pass Through IP Address page appears.
3 Select the Enable pass through address checkbox.
4 Type the IP address of the computer to connect to the pass
through in the applicable field.
This must be a public IP address.
5 Click Submit.
NOTE
A pass through connection decreases the security of the trusted
network, because the computer with the pass through connection
is on the same Ethernet segment as the trusted network. Do not
use a pass through connection unless the effect of the pass
through connection on the security of the trusted network is
known.
