[haliparotin]

hi! i Just want to ask how can i access my SME Server from outside network? because i have a firewall and i want add a port forwarding for this.. i only access the Server manager within the network by typing this "https://IP_SMEserver/file-manager" and i dont know what the port i can use for my port forwarding.. THANK YOU..

Sorry for being stupid.. actually i try to search i cannot find

is quite simple

it depends what you will like to access from outside
for example http (tcp 80) and https (tcp 443) + ping (udp 0) + ftp (TCP 20+21) ....

as long as you'll try to make an VPN from outside via pptp (1723) protocol this port should be forwarded/passed by firewall

just think about the protocol you'll use
and don't forget to read in wiki how to open access from outside for related services
for example this will be a good start
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter11

hope this will help you

You may want to add port 22 for SSH

dear johnp

Personally I prefer to use pptp and then ssh to "internal" NIC
you'll not have the port 22 open,
you'll not have to set "accept ssh from not trusted networks"

this combinations works for me in almost all type of internet access around the world (hotels, internet cafes, bars, public hot spots, airport, data access through my mobile phone - even in roaming...)
