The simplest way to access your VFS instance is to log onto Horizon via https://cloud.cybera.ca with your email and password. Once you have logged inside, you are then able to access and control your virtual machine. This does not require a Rapid Access Cloud VPN. 

However, if you require access to the firewall itself, you will need to connect through the Rapid Access Cloud VPN (see the Rapid Access Cloud Virtual Private Network for details). After a connection to the Rapid Access Cloud VPN has been established, you  can then access it through HTTPS:

  1. Log in to the Rapid Access Cloud VPN:



  2. Log in to your Rapid Access Cloud account and locate your VFS instance:



  3. Open another web browser tab/window and enter the management IP address in the URL bar.  Example (https://10.1.x.x/):





  4. Once you enter the url in, you will be given the following prompt. Because we already know this IP address is ours, we can accept this certificate. For this example a Palo Alto firewall is being used, but the results will be the same for FortiOS:





  5. At this point, you should be able to directly interface with your firewall instance.
