Figure 8-7: Remote Management menu

To configure your firewall for Remote Management:

1. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.

2. Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the firewall’s remote management.

Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.

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.

Note: Be sure to change the firewall’s default configuration password to a very secure

password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language,

and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols.

Your password can be up to 30 characters.
