      I have to change the WAN IPs and so will no doubt lose access via the WAN.

        From the console, it is a bit awkward, but you can run:

        links https://127.0.0.1/
        

        You'll probably need to press 'g' and navigate to /index.php by hand after logging in.

        Or use the console menu option to reset the WAN IP that way. Changing WAN IP addresses is something that is a bit tricky to attempt remotely. You'll also need to fix the gateway.

        Might be safer to download a config.xml backup and replace the IPs and gateway there and then restore it.

            /conf/config.xml

            As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
