Although all Kibosh appliance administration is done from your MyFilter Dashboard, there are a few advanced features like our proprietary bandwidth monitoring, or QOS that’s only available from the Kibosh Router Management Utility (KRMU).
All Kibosh routers products have a default DDNS name, and can be found from any location at the following DDNS address:
However in order to access your Kibosh from any web browser you need to enable remote access.
Step 1: Enable remote web access:
- Log into your Kibosh at http://192.168.10.1
- Go to System > Status
- On the status page look for the WAN IP Address. If the WAN IP Address starts with ’10.’ , ‘192.168.’, or ‘172.’ then this WAN IP is private, and you’ll need to complete Step 2 below because your Kibosh router is behind a primary router.
- Go to System > Router Access
- Enable Remote Web Admin Access and select HTTP
- Set the Remote HTTP port to 8080 (or 8888, 8181, etc)
- Save Changes
Now you can open any web browser and type in the following URL: http://[KRMU ID].kiboshdns.com:8080
NOTE: This URL will only work when not connected to the Kibosh routers LAN, i.e. when away from home/office. While connected to the Kibosh use http://192.168.10.1.
Step 2: Forward remote web access port (only needed if your WAN IP is private):
- Log into your BUC appliance at http://192.168.10.1
- Go to System > Status
- Write down the WAN IP Address
- Copy the WAN Gateway IP
- This is the primary router the Kibosh is chained off
- Now open a browser and past in the WAN Gateway IP (ex: 192.168.0.1)
- Once logged into your primary router go to Port Forwarding and forward port 8080 to the Kibosh router’s WAN IP address from step 3.
- Save Changes
NOTE: Be sure to set a good router password if you enable remote access.
