Chapter 2 – Webmin Configuration
If your router is being used on a completely private network, or IP access control is
being provided by the firewall you may leave IP Access Control disabled. Select the
Allow from all addresses field and Save.
If you wish to restrict access to a single address or subnet, select the Only allow from
listed addresses field. Enter a single IP address or a subnetted address.
If you wish to deny access to a specific subnet, select the Deny from listed addresses
field. Enter a single IP address or a subnetted address.
If DNS is configured you may allow and deny based upon hostname. Partially
qualified domain names such as *.foo.com are acceptable.
The Resolve hostnames on every request field forces Webmin to perform a
hostname lookup for every user access. The result of this will be that a dynamically
assigned IP with a DNS entry with a Dynamic DNS registrar will be able to be
checked against the IP Access Control list, just like a fixed address. This method is
useful for administrators who travel or simply don't have a fixed address at their
normal location.
Note: This is not efficient if you have more than a few domain names entered in
the IP Access Control list, due to the high overhead of performing a name
lookup for every hostname in the list on every request.
Ports And Addresses
Figure 17: Webmin Configuration Menu, Ports and Addresses
This command allows you to restrict access to Webmin from one particular network
interface on your server. If your Webmin server has a non-routable local address and
a routable Internet address, you should decide whether anyone will ever need to be
able to access the Webmin server from outside of your local network. If not, simply
configure Webmin to listen on the local interface.
By default, Webmin listens on TCP port 10000 for clients. It is possible to change
this default behaviour.
