Connect to the control panel by entering the IP address of the IPCOP in the address bar of any Browser. PLEASE NOTE: Type the address as follows: https://IndirizzoIP:8443. Then log in by entering your credentials. First you need to change the DNS used by the IPCOP (RED Network). To do this click on [System], then open the [SSH Access] menu. Check the SSH Access item and click on the [Save] button to apply the changes.



To access the console, using the SSH protocol, you can use the Putty software (Click here to download Putty) Then open the Putty software and enter the IP address of the IPCOP (GREEN Network) inside the field and 8022 in the Port field. Then click on [Open] to open the console.

At this point we need to configure IPCOP so that we can authenticate with our Servers. Then open the [Services] menu and then click on [Dynamic DNS]. As the service, choose dyndns.org. IMPORTANT: You do not need to be registered with the dyndns.org service as our Servers redirect the request directly to themselves. Then click on the [Add] button to proceed with the service configuration.



Then configure it as follows: » Enabled: Check the item to enable the service. » Hostname: Enter any name you like. For example, the word hostname. » Domain: Enter a domain of your choice.

Alternatively, the DNS of the various devices within the network can be changed manually.

It is possible to increase security by denying the user the ability to browse unfiltered, as a result of changing the DNS on their device. To do this, proceed as follows: »Open the [Firewall] menu and click on [Firewall »At this point you need to create rules to block all traffic on port 53 (DNS Service), both TCP and UDP, except those directed to our IPs. Then click on the [Outgoing Traffic] button to create a new rule.



See the image below to understand how to create the rule. PLEASE NOTE: Enter the IP 185.236.104.104 in the Destination IP or Net: field.



Then click [Save] to add the rule. Then create another rule, similar to the previous one, except the Destination IP or Net: field must be 185.236.105.105.
