====== Remote Configuration - permanently ======
If you want to make the web configuration pages constantly available on the Internet, you may enable Remote Configuration in a [[security profile]].

The [[main menu|web configuration pages]] will then be available on the Internet the same way as they are on your local network.

Information about temporary remote access is available [[remote config|here]].

:!: You must change the admin password in the unit before you make the web configuration pages available on the Internet!

Once enabled in a security profile, the web configuration interface is available from any computer connected on the Internet on the global IP address followed by :66 (or 78 for https)

Example: %%http://213.115.129.166:66%%

To make the Internet Gate web configuration available from the outside:
  - On the [[Security page]] select the [[security profile]] you want to enable remote configuration for.
  - Check "Remote configuration (Web)" under Allowed applications .
  - Optionally, enter an external IP address and mask to only allow remote configuration from specific IP addresses (which gives better security).
 
Use a strong password to avoid unauthorized access to your unit!

It is more secure to use https than http for connection, but remember it only makes eavesdropping more difficult - it does not improve protection against people guessing your password!

^ :!: Remember that there is risk in making your web configuration pages available on the Internet if your password may become known! ^
