Managing the firewall from RED

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

This is my first post after I managed to install the firewall on my test VMware server. The main intension of this installation is using it as Openvpn access server for many Linux remote servers. These tunnels will be used for SNMP and remote management of these servers.

I have discovered that I can only manage the endian firewall using the GUI from the Green interface (Trusted LAN). I am trying to allow GUI access from the RED WAN internet facing interface, either through a openvpn client or direct.

I know that this is not secure but this is the only way I could remotely manage the firewall since I am not behind the trusted LAN, unless there is another way.

If I create firewall rule(s) that allow access from a specific IP address to the RED WAN interface's IP address on ports 22 and 10443, would that do the trick?

Your support is highly appreciated.

You need to configure a system access rule such as this one:


Hope that helps!
