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.

What you could do is this
Open a port to the outside work on your router, say port 22222 and map it back to a host on your home lan say 192.168.2.100 port 22222. (Make sure nothing actually listens on 192.168.2.100 port 22222. Then create an ssh tunnel from work to home that listens on 192.168.2.100 port 22222 and forward to your routers internal ip address, like this
ssh router.external.ip -L 22222:router.internal.ip:80
once the tunnel is up you *should* be able to point your browser at http://router.external.ip:22222 and see the router from the inside
Voila!
Hope it works
