ROUTER REMOTE ACCSES

waveguide
Just joined

Hi, I want to use  my Hub3 remote access to control equipment I have at home on my home network, Using the remote access  facility I believe can cause some vunerabilities  for hackers. I have set up port forwarding and I can control my equipment within my home wifi. For access away from home I need to enable remote access and my question is is there a way of protecting the router from hackers in this mode . 

regards JB

Port forwarding and remote access to an hub are two totally  different things. Port forwarding is used when you are away from home to get access to devices on your LAN. Say you want to get access to a web server on a device on your LAN. You could set up port forwarding for port 8888 to port 80 on the devices IP. Then externally you would do in a browser <WAN_IP_address>:8888 and it would go to your server on the LAN. Remote access to the hub just gets you to the hubs web server, but I think on the lastest releases of the hub’s firmware this is disabled.

Our Hub 3 does not permit Remote menu access to be enabled, the menu page exists with options greyed out.
The Hub 3 also does not permit creation of a Port Forward to 192.168.0.1

Get a real router with VPN and use hub in modem mode
