<\/span><\/h2>\nNow, we will configure access for the client on our IPCop by RED interface on port 445 only for access to the administration interface.<\/p>\n
To do this, connect the interface to your management console since IPCop to set up the configuration. Log on to the interface using the account \u201cadmin\u201d. Through the menu, go to the \u201cFirewall\u201d and then \u201cExternal Access\u201d.<\/p>\n
So you get this form:<\/p>\n
![\"IPCop2\"](\"http:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IPCop2.png\")
<\/p>\n
Here are some explanations to help you understand:<\/strong><\/p>\n– TCP \/ UDP:<\/strong> connection protocol to use, in most cases this will be TCP.<\/p>\n– Source address or IP network (blank for “ALL”):<\/strong> You must indicate to whom you allow access, i.e. with a single IP address, a range of IP addresses (a network) or all IP addresses.<\/p>\n– Destination Port:<\/strong> The port on which you wish to arrive on IPCOP, for example to access the HTTPS administration interface will be indicated 445, 222 for SSH, etc.<\/p>\n– Enabled:<\/strong> If this box is checked and external access configured it means the rule is registered but inactive. So once you click on the Enabled box, next press Add button. It will assign the rule to the next section and you will see listed as an active rule.<\/p>\n– Destination IP Address:<\/strong> This field will keep contents “DEFAULT IP” which is the IP address of your RED interface \/ RED. This is logical since they will not do a redirect, but configure external access to our IPCop server.<\/p>\n– Note:<\/strong> Enter a comment to describe this rule in order to find your way between all of your external access rules.<\/p>\nIt remains only to click on the button “Add” to see the external access rule appears in the list of rules. Finally, test your external access by connecting from the IP address authorized by the RED interface.<\/p>\n
Regarding IPCop version 2.0 or greater, it is also possible to access the external access configuration where the configuration is complete. Indeed, it is possible to enable or disable logging for a rule and specify a time range in which the rule applies, interesting anyway!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
