First off, your question is better asked in the ipcop-user email list,
since it is so specific to IPCop. Go here to subscribe:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ipcop-user What you want to
do has been recently discussed in that list. Check the archives for
possible answers.
Second, I would not recommend opening a firewall for remote access on the
web based administration interface. It WILL get pounded on.
If you must get to it remotely, open the SSH external access. Once you
log in via ssh, you can use a text based browser on localhost to get to
the web admin interface. It is not as pretty that way but then you only
have one opening to the world that is pretty secure. Or at least more
secure than http or https.
