Remote Access Protocols and Ports on the RV315W VPN Router

Objective

The Remote Access Protocol allows the administrator to manage the RV315W configuration through remote access. The two access protocols are HTTP and HTTPS. HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to access information and distribute it through internet using the connection that the server and the host establish. HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) also is used to access and distribute information through internet but with the advantage of a security layer. This security layer gives protection to the host and the server against attacks. These remote access protocols are used to control the data traffic over the WAN interface.This article explains how configure remote access protocols on the RV315W VPN Router.

Note: To configure trusted remote hosts that have access to the device remotely, please refer to the article, Trusted Remote Hosts on RV315W VPN Routers.
