Hi Billy,<br />
<br />
External Firewall needs to allow:<br />
sb10f.accessmylan.com - IP: 10.201.200.52<br />
registrar.accessmylan.com - IP: 193.240.43.80<br />
<a href="http://www.accessmylan.com" rel="ugc">www.accessmylan.com</a>&nbsp;- IP: 193.240.43.81<br />
<br />
Ensure that port 443 is open.<br />
<br />
I just pinged one of the urls and you are correct it corresponds to the ip address. Therefore I'm assuming they want me to add a rule to the firewall that allows these addresses to 443. What would you suggest. Modifing a current Windows Server 2012 rule or creating a new rule.

<div>
Current on the server I have World Wide WEb Services (HTTPS Traffic.. profile=1ll Enabled=no Action=Allow Overide=No Program System Local address=Any Remote Address=Any Protocol=TCP Local Port=443 Remote Port=Any AuthUsers-Any

Hi UtahTN,<br />
<br />
Why are you adding Public IPs/domains to a Windows firewall. Filtering of Public IPs should occur on the Hardware firewall even if it is a web server in the DMZ.<br />
<br />
Windows Firewall only works on IP-basis AFAIK.

I accidentally looked at the wrong line. This rule is already enabled and set for Any IP address. I think they have something setup incorrectly. The access my lan host and client software are connected and working without any error messages. I'm going to run a few test and try RDP again and see if it is talking through their APN/VPN.

I asked this question hoping someone else had experience with ATT accessmylan setup. The whole purpose of using their VPN product was so I don't have to open anything to the outside. I could have just used my Global Sonicwall VPN client. I like the idea of using a hotspot that could support several products like, iphone, ipad and notebook at the same time. I had this working last year directly to a windows 7 PC on the same network behind the same router without changing anything in the sonicwall or the windows firewall. Now I'm at a point I want to move it over to the windows 2012 server but someone different was attempt to help me on-board the service.

<div>
Normally the firewall rule is enabled and allows connecting from any IP. &nbsp;By using the scope and adding the IPs it changes to only allow connections from those 3 IPs.<br />
<br />
I tend to agree with BST, always better to control from the hardware firewall at the perimeter of the network, but not all routers allow you to do that. SonicWALL will.

Suggestions on the correct way to add them. I've added ports and etc but this is the first time to add URLS and IPs.<br />

Adding entries into the Windows Server 2012 R2 firewall.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
