Configuring DDNS and Access Service
In the Device > DDNS & Device Access page, you can:
n
Configure DDNS account details in one of the supported providers.
n
Configure a service that lets you remotely connect to the appliance in instances where it
is behind NAT, a firewall, or has a dynamically assigned IP address.
DDNS
When you configure DDNS, the appliance updates the provider with its IP addresses. Users
can then connect to the device with a host name from the provider instead of IP addresses.
This is especially important for remote access users who connect to the device to the internal
network through VPN.
To configure DDNS:
1. Select Connect to the appliance by name from the Internet (DDNS).
2. Enter the details of your account on the page:
n
Provider - Select the DDNS provider that you set up an account with.
n
User name - Enter the user name of the account.
n
Password - Enter the password of the account.
Note - You cannot use these characters in a password or shared secret: {
} [ ] ` ~ | ‘ " \ (maximum number of characters: 255)
n
Host name - Enter your routable host name as defined in your DDNS account.
For more information about these details, refer to your provider's website.
3. Make sure Reinitialize internal certificates is selected. When you enable this feature or
change settings, you must reinitialize the internal certificates for them to be valid for the
new DNS.
Reach My Device
Reach My Device lets you remotely connect to the appliance from the Internet so that you can
use the WebUI or CLI when necessary. This is done by tunneling the administrative UI or CLI
connections through a Check Point Cloud Service. Such configuration is very useful in
instances where the appliance is behind a NAT device or firewall, and cannot be reached
directly. In addition, the feature makes it easier to access an appliance with a dynamically
assigned IP address.
