cPanel address

cPanel is commonly accessed via one of the following URLs: 

 http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel
 http://www.yourdomain.com:2082

For a secure connection with SSL, use one of these: 

 https://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel
 https://www.yourdomain.com:2083


Firewalls

If you have trouble connecting to cPanel, it may be a problem with the firewall on your ADSL modem/router.

Billion 7404 Router

If you have a Billion 7404 modem/router and the firewall is turned on, you will not be able to access the secure login to cPanel.

What you need to do is allow outbound traffic through Port 2082.

Opening Port 2082

  • Log into the router by browsing to it (typically IP 192.168.1.254)
  • Enter your username and password (you have changed the default password haven't you?)
  • Go to: Configuration | Firewall | Packet Filter
  • Click on Add TCP/UDP Filter
  • Fill in the following: 
Rule Name         mei_cpanel
Time Schedule     Always On
Source IP Address(es)       0.0.0.0    Netmask  0.0.0.0
Destination IP Address(es)  0.0.0.0    Netmask  0.0.0.0
Type              TCP
Source Port       0 ~ 66535
Destination Port  2082 ~ 2082
Inbound           Block
Outbound          Allow
  • Click Apply, then Save Config
