I want to run a web and/or ftp server on one of my internal system, how can I let users on the internet to access my server behind Comtun firewall?
First thing, you need to enable Allow Web Server and Allow FTP server in the firewall customized rule window in the Firewall Setup Tab in the manager. Case 1, you can run a web server or a ftp server coexisting with Comtun proxy server. You may need to configure HTTP daemon and define a different proxy port other than 80 (e.g. 8080) if you don’t use NAT mode. Case 2, if you run the web server or ftp server on a different host, you need to add a port mapping for each of them. The gateway IP address should be fixed and not be dynamically assigned otherwise it may change at the next time (you need a DNS server to map your ip address. We provide this service at $20/year). You also need to uncheck the option “Use this proxy IP for all daemons and port mappings” in the General Tab. To configure a port mapping for: HTTP Web Server*: Port Mappings Name: Web Server Port Mapping Proxy IP Address: Proxy Port: fixed_Internet_ip : 80 Destination Name or IP: local web servers host or IP, e.g. 192.16
