Yes, you can connect from outside to the ebox, using openvpn, http or https.
You need to know your router’s public ip address (or use dynamic dns) and need to open and forward the relevant ports from your router to your ebox.

Hello,

I am very glad to discover ebox. It is really a great solution.
But I have a question: can I use ebox outside my local network.
I mean can i connect to ebox using my external(router) ip?

Hi again! I’m sorry for taking so long to answer, I didn’t realize about your question until recently – we discussed the issue and as every now and then we get questions regarding the hardware that should be used in different eBox installations, we thought about opening a new topic in the Forum to find out what eBox users actually use.

The new topic is here: http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?topic=2041.msg8621#msg8621 and we hope to get plenty of questions and answers related to the hw used on different eBox installations so that it can be useful for all eBox users.

Please feel free to drop us a line through the forum!

No problem, ebox rocks!

Any idea where I get get a “little” device running ebox to use as a home router / fw?

Would be great if it came in a router sized housing.
