How to access cPanel if using a Firewall

Accessing any of your hosting stuff in public is highly insecure. However it is not possible to always be in your private environment and do your hosting related stuff. There are times when you are in public and have to use the resources available in order to keep your work going on. It is not an easy task to access your web hosting account from a public location.
The major reason behind this is that special connections are not permitted from public areas. However if you want to connect to your control panel you can do that. Cpanelproxy.net allows you to use some software called as proxy which allows you to connect to the control panel even if the normal connection is blocked.
You need to get the approval of your host as many Web Host don’t allow proxy connections on their server. cPanel Proxy can be installed on your account but there are no guidelines for using that. If you make some mistakes while connecting there is a possibility of your account being partially inactive. So it’s always good to talk to your Web Host before making any changes to your account. The simplest way to install cPanel proxy is to use a web-based auto installer. In this you need to enter your username and password for cPanel onto a form. For your account safety you need to change the cPanel password instantly once the proxy software is installed. To use the auto-installer, visit http://cpanelproxy.net/autoinstall and fill out the short form. Enter your cPanel account username and then password. The form then asks for the server. This can be the IP address of your server or the name of your server or your domain name.
Aftert that you will get WHM,cPanel and  Webmail as options. Webmail works fine even  if there is  firewall. cPanel is the regular cPanel account and WHM is the panel used by reseller web hosting account holders. The first two options are always checked. Leave them as they are and then click Install to start the installation. If you entered all the information correctly, you will be told that the proxy was installed for webmail and cPanel. If you see any errors, please double-check the information you entered in the form.Once the cPanel proxy is installed, you can access your cPanel account from http://cpanel.domain.com/ and log in with your cPanel username and password as you do normally.
