Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS114

8-12 Advanced Configuration

202-10098-01, April 2005

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

If you do not use the SSL https://address, but rather use http://address, the FVS114 will

automatically attempt to redirect to https://address.

Note: The first time you remotely connect the FVS114 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 FVS114 by running

TRACERT from the Windows Start menu Run option. For

example, type tracert yourFVS114.mynetgear.net and you will see the IP address your ISP

assigned to the FVS114.
