ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance

Configuring Remote Management Access

An administrator can configure, upgrade, and check the status of the STM over the Internet
via a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN connection.

You need to use an SSL VPN connection to access the STM from the Internet: type https://
(not http://) followed by the STM’s WAN IP address into your browser. For example, if the
STM’s WAN IP address is 172.16.0.123, type the following in your browser:
https://172.16.0.123.

The STM’s remote login URL is:

https://<IP_address> or https://<FullyQualifiedDomainName

Note:

The STM is accessible to anyone who knows its IP address and

default password. Because a malicious WAN user can reconfigure
the STM and misuse it in many ways, NETGEAR highly
recommends that you change the admin and guest default
passwords before continuing (see

Changing Administrative

Passwords and Timeouts

on page 62).

To configure remote management:

Select Administration > Remote Management from the menu. The Remote
Management screen displays:
