Temporarily enable webadmin on external interface

Hi,

i need a quick way to temporarily enable webadmin access on the external interface, so i can access the box from the internet.

Best regards

  • Allowing direct webadmin access from the WAN interface is not such a good idea from a security point of view. People will make brute force password crack attempts against the webadmin page if you do that.

    You can quickly access webadmin from the Internet without reconfiguring anything, by first opening a PPTP connection, and then browsing to the webadmin inside the VPN tunnel. It is a simple approach that works well.
  • Just a quick point.. PPTP can be brute forced as well... IPSEC w/ a Cert is probably the best way to handle it.
