Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP
addresses as practical. See “Setting User Login Policies” on

sure to use strong passwords.
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>.
To maintain security, the VPN firewall will reject a login that uses http://address rather
than the SSL https://address.
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.
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.
If you disable HTTPS remote management, all SSL VPN user connections will also be
disabled.
