To access the Endian Firewall GUI is as simple as starting your browser and entering the IP address (of the green EFW interface) or
hostname of your Endian Firewall along with a port director of either 10443 (https/secure) or 80 (redirected to 10443).
The system will ask you for username and password: user: "Admin", password:"the password that you set during the installation process"
You should now be looking at the Home Page of your Endian Firewall GUI. You can immediately start exploring the different options and
the information available to you through this interface. Below, we have listed the Main Configuration/Administration Options available
