Hub 5 update no longer able to get to 192.168.100.1 by HTTP any more

So my hub updated from LG-RDK_7.6.20-2306.5 to LG-RDK_11.6.2-2410.1 just a sight disconnect over night and all when fine still in modem mode :D 

But it seems VM wants you to connect to 192.168.100.1 by HTTPS now nothing to do with the browser like really! whats the point.

  • The point is just “security” — HTTP sends everything in clear text, including your hub login password. Forcing HTTPS means at least it’s encrypted on your local network (even if the self-signed cert is clunky). VM will say the point is to secure the login page. In practice it’s mainly cosmetic — encryption helps, but since it’s a self-signed cert it doesn’t add much for the average home user beyond looking “more secure.”
