Firewall Question
Hello,
Sorry for the newb question here. I have an IT guy who is remote and I have his IP Addresses. I am simply trying to add a statement in the watchguard to give him access remotely to the public IP of the unit. I have created an Alias and added his IP's. Can I get some guidance on how to add him to the correct firewall rule?
Thanks

What do you want this person to be able to do?
Just be able to access the watchguard from his office. The UI.
Option 1: modify the WatchGuard Web UI policy and add the public IP addr of that user in the From: field
Option 2: set up client VPN access and add the client VPN user ID in the From: field of WatchGuard Web UI policy
Review this for client VPN info:
Mobile VPN Tunnels

I did option 1 but that doesn't seem to be working. I will keep working on it.
Thank You!
You can turn on Logging on that policy to see packets which are allowed by it in Traffic Monitor.
Also, if this policy is not set up correctly, then you should see deny log entries for access to the Web UI port on external from that user's public IP addr.
How many public IP addrs does this user have?
