Hello guys,

I want to make some tests on a test server outside of our domain. I have to go through internet to reach my clients test server but i want to open only the http post port in my firewall and not the whole ignition server. Is tha possible?

Thnak you

It is possible but utterly insecure and unwise. Ignition v8 with https is fairly secure, as long as you haven’t set up any auto-login projects.

I highly recommend using a VPN.
