Up to you. If your happy with the security risk then do it.

Have you tried a SSH tunnel and port forwarding? I posted some details using PuTTy recently.

Wait a minute, which is your external IP-number?

If it's 10.0.0.99 then it's also a "black number", so you should NOT be able to access that from the world wild internat

The reasonable safe way to do it from all internet is to connect via putty and then to set up a ssh tunnel from putty and then log in via the internal address.

It's also quite easy to make the server-manager panel public available for all internet but this info will make moderators and others quite mad. (Have posted it before so you could xxxxxx for it.)

A ssh tunnel should be a relatively safe way, and it works without a problem.

By the way if you want to make access from only one ip and not the whole internet I think this one ip option is allso supported from the server-manager panel ..

Sorry, but you didn't :-(

You allowed a whole C-net to remote access...

Change the network mask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.255.255 and you'll see that "number of hosts" will change from your present "256" to "1".

I think that's the way you want, right?
