A frequent problem to solve in order to connect using a web browser to Iguana is configuring the firewall of the server to make that possible.
A firewall is a piece of security software which protects a server from malicious people trying to connect via the network to a server. We need to configure the firewall to allow us to send TCP/IP traffic to port 7654. This will then allow our us to connect our browser to Iguana.
It’s important to know the Port number (default is 7654) and public IP address of your Linux server. The URL to connect will be in the form:
http://<Public IP Address>:7654/
