When remote management is enabled, you must use an SSL connection to access the UTM from
the Internet. You must enter https:// (not http://) and type the UTM’s WAN IP address in your
browser .For example, if the UTM’s WAN IP address is 172.16.0.123, type the following in your
browser: https://172.16.0.123.
The UTM’s remote login URL is:
https://<IP_address> or https://<FullyQualifiedDomainName.
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.
See “Setting User Login Policies” on page 9-12 for instructions on restricting
administrator access by IP address.
Note: To maintain security, the UTM rejects a login that uses http://address rather than
the SSL https://address.
Note: The first time that you remotely connect to the UTM25 with a browser via an SSL
connection, you might 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.
Note: If you are unable to remotely connect to the UTM after enabling HTTPS remote
management, check if other user policies, such as the default user policy, are
preventing access. For access to the UTM’s Web Management Interface, check if
administrative access through a WAN interface is granted (see “Configuring Login
Policies” on page 9-12).
Note: If you disable HTTPS remote management, all SSL VPN user connections are also
disabled.
Tip: If you are using a dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can identify the WAN IP
address of your UTM by running
tracert from the Windows Run menu option.
Trace the route to your registered FQDN. For example, enter
tracert
UTM.mynetgear.net,
and the WAN IP address that your ISP assigned to the UTM
is displayed.
