Posted: 15 Jul 2008 09:47 AM CDT

I've couple of remote servers and I'd like to access few admin only application running on port 10000 and 3001. My firewall only allows port 80, 443, 25, 22 and 110 for public access. Do I need to open port 10000 and 3001 for everyone using firewall? How do I access my admin only apps without opening port 10000 and 3001?
