Accessing a server behind the FortiGate

You can access servers behind the FortiGate-VM in a variety of ways:

  • Using the FortiGate-VM to forward remote access ports to the server behind the VM
  • Configuring VPN on the FortiGate-VM, then connecting to VPN. Once connected to VPN, you can access servers across the VPN via their Cloud Networks (private) IP addresses.
  • Using the emergency console available in the mycloud.rackspace.com portal

For details about configuring the FortiGate, see the FortiOS Handbook.
