Configuring HTTPS

You can enable ZoneAlarm router users to access the ZoneAlarm Portal from the Internet. To do so, you must first configure HTTPS.

Note: Configuring HTTPS is equivalent to creating a simple Allow rule, where the destination is This Gateway. To create more complex rules for HTTPS, such as allowing HTTPS connections from multiple IP address ranges, define Allow rules for TCP port 443, with the destination This Gateway. For information, see Using Rules.

To configure HTTPS

Click Setup in the main menu, and click the Management tab.
The Management page appears.

Specify from where HTTPS access to the ZoneAlarm Portal should be granted.

See Access Options for information.

Warning: If remote HTTPS is enabled, your ZoneAlarm router settings can be changed remotely, so it is especially important to make sure all ZoneAlarm router users' passwords are difficult to guess.

Note: You can use HTTPS to access the ZoneAlarm Portal from your internal network, by surfing to https://my.firewall.

If you selected Internal Networks + IP Range, additional fields appear.

If you selected Internal Networks + IP Range, enter the desired IP address range in the fields provided.
Click Apply.
The HTTPS configuration is saved. If you configured remote HTTPS, you can now access the ZoneAlarm Portal through the Internet, using the procedure Accessing the ZoneAlarm Portal Remotely.
