Hi experts we have remote clients connecting via ssl vpn into our network. This works fine. But some times our remote clients sit behind a firewall which is blocking port 10443. I can not modify the remote firewalls, I have to cope with this blocked port here with our own Fortigate unit. I can change the SSL VPN port. But if I move the VPN port to 443 I lose the ability to access the Web Administration over https on 443. Since two services can not share the same port, can I spread the services over multiple IP addresses? Is it possible to build a port forwarding or something like this? Best regards, Lars

So I have to choose my poison. In this case I swap the HTTPS port with the SSL VPN port. VPN access is more important than remote management of the FGT.

If you create an SSL login for yourself, you can manage from the inside. More secure anyway.

Hi there, How about http or ssh are they also blocked? you might as well connect to the fortigate http://<IP_Address> if you enable administrative access on it.
