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.
c. To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only this PC.
Enter the IP address that will be allowed access.
3. Specify the Port Number that will be used for accessing the management interface.
Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security,
you can change the remote management web interface to a custom port by entering that
number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the
number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for
HTTP.
4. Click Apply to have your changes take effect.
5. When accessing your firewall from the Internet, the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) will be
enabled. You will enter https:// and type your firewall's WAN IP address into your browser,
followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your WAN IP address is
134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, type the following in your browser:
https://134.177.0.123:8080
The router’s remote login URL is https://IP_address:port_number or
https://FullyQualifiedDomainName:port_number.
If you do not use the SSL https://address, but rather use http://address, the FVS124G will
automatically attempt to redirect to https://address.
Note: The first time you remotely connect the FVS124G with a browser via SSL, you may get
a 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.
Tip: If you are using a dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can always identify the IP
address of your FVS124G by running
TRACERT from the Windows Start menu Run option. For
example, tracert yourFVS124G.mynetgear.ne t and you will see the IP address your ISP
assigned to the FVS124G.
