  • You can now access other dashboard/CPanel/WHM pages that may be network restricted.  This will also allow you access the WebDAV port TCP/2078.
This process will NOT work for Confidential Data Security Tier virtual machines. To arrange access, submit a help request to Media3 through the web interface.

Troubleshooting Tips

You are working remotely. Everything was fine, but now it's not working anymore.

Remote users, especially on cell or residential connections, may switch IP addresses unpredictably.  Reauthorize your current IP address by following these instructions again.

You do not see the Allow Firewall Access button.

You may be attempting to connect to a Confidential Data Security Tier machine. Due to security restrictions, you cannot open up the firewall on this machine yourself.  Submit a help request to Media3 through the web interface.

You will not see the Allow Firewall Access button if you are already on a Cornell campus network.  Access from all CU networks is already allowed.
