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. 

 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 UTM 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 

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 

 from the Windows Run menu option. 

Trace the route to your registered FQDN. For example, enter 

,

 and the WAN IP address that your ISP assigned to the UTM 

is displayed.
