Management > Access Control > Services
The Services Option limits or enables selective access via the LAN or WAN via the following services:
Enable the service by checking the corresponding box and clicking
SAVE/APPLY
. You will note that all services are
enabled for LAN clients and disabled for WAN clients by default.
CAUTION: If you disable HTTP access from the LAN then you may not be able to open the NB8WVPN in your Web Browser!
EXAMPLE 1:
You need to access your
NB8WVPN
via the Internet from a remote location through a Web
browser. Method: enable WAN access for HTTP and click Save and Apply. Then enter the
address http://[WAN_IP_NB8WVPN] in the browser address bar of the remote machine.
EXAMPLE 2:
Assume that you already have a web server on your LAN behind the
NB8WVPN
that people
connect to from the Internet. You have entered a ‘Port Forwarding’ entry that forwards
incoming traffic on the WAN on port 80 to the LAN IP of the web server on port 80 (default
for HTTP traffic). If you enable HTTP WAN access to the
NB8WVPN
you will be notified that
the default port to access the
NB8WVPN
has been updated to port 8080. Therefore, your
web server will not need to be reconfigured, and you can access your
NB8WVPN
on the
WAN side using address http://WAN_IP_OF_NB8WVPN:8080. The same applies for other
services that use conflicting ports setup in your
NB8WVPN
.
