My Zyxel router can limit access to its web configuration menu in various ways, i.e. it can be:-
From LAN only, from WAN only or from anywhere From any IP address or from a single specified IP addressThe trouble is that I'd like to be able to configure it when I'm at home, that means "from LAN only, any IP address" *and* from work which means "from WAN only, specified IP address".
The options are exclusive so I can't have both together. Can anyone suggest a way I can either:-
Make my home machine's browser look like it's connecting from an outside IP address?or:- Make it look like a connection from work is coming from within my home LAN?
I suspect the second possibility above is more likely to be possible, though I don't quite see how at the moment.
The router is a Zyxel 2602HW by the way.
Can you not, say from home, telnet/ssh to your work machine and once logged in to that run a configuration session from the work machine but under the remote control of the home machine?
Or does the router inhibit net traffic while it's being configured?
Or is the work machine switched off when you're at home?
(In either of the last two cases, I don't have useful ideas!)
Best wishes, Ted.
