Abstract: A network security system provides portals which enable automatic creation of a dynamic one-time port forwarding rule for an authorized user's current IP address following two factor authentication of the authorized user. Such a dynamic one-time port forwarding rule is utilized to set up a connection, at which point the dynamic one-time port forwarding rule is removed, preventing any attacker from subsequently taking advantage of it. Such a methodology is advantageous as compared to conventional port forwarding in that it is much more secure. Such a methodology is advantageous as compared to traditional port forwarding with access control both in that a user does not always have to utilize the same device with a static IP address, and in that the port forwarding rule representing or exposing a potential vulnerability is deleted after a connection is established.
