Question:
How do I setup a Clavister firewall for remote administration?

Answer:
First you add a rule under the Remotes-section, where you specify the external interface of the firewall
and which Network / IP-address that you wish to allow to admin the firewall.

This will allow your Firewall Manager to communicate with the firewall. Also notice that the communication is encrypted, and that you will need the right set of encryption keys to be able to connect to the firewall.

Note: If you are not using NetconBeforeRules, wich is set by default, in Advanced Settings->
RemoteAdmin, you have to add a rule to the Rules-section, which allows you to talk UDP & TCP to port 999 of the firewalls external IP-address. It might look something like this:

Action Src Iface Src Net Dest Iface Dest Net Service 2 Allow ext your_ip <core> ip_ext Ports All -> 999
