How to access Cpanel from behind a firewall.

Philbert

I have been looking for this for a very long time. Most newsgroups I came accross said its impossible but alas it is not!
For anybody who wants to access Cpanel in colloge or work where the firewall doesnt let you use port 2082, heres what to do.

Take a look at this script:

http://myplace.dk/php/cpanelproxy/

Installation requires that you have access to cPanel, so you need to
use a system that isn't behind a firewall to install it.

There are instructions embedded in the php file, but here's what I did
to get it to work for me.

1) Load up cPanel (www.yourdomain.com/cpanel or [url]www.yourdomain.com:2082[/url])
2) Add a subdomain called cpanel.
3) Copy the script cpanelproxy.php to the /public_html/cpanel/ directory.
4) Modify (or add) the file /public_html/cpanel/.htaccess to include
the following 3 lines:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cpanelproxy.php
RewriteRule .* /cpanelproxy.php [last]

That's it. Once your subdomain is available, you can use
http://cpanel.yourdomain.com to get into cPanel and Webmail.:)

Accessing cPanel login from behind a firewall is simple! Ensure your firewall allows outbound traffic on ports 2082 or 2083, depending on the security protocol (HTTP or HTTPS). Then, open your browser and navigate to your hosting provider's domain followed by "/cpanel." Voila! You're all set to manage your website effortlessly. Happy cPanel managing!
