RAX120 - Remote Management option GONE after V1.2.1.22 ?!
Yesterday, my RAX120 auto-updated to V1.2.1.22. I now see that "Remote Management" is gone! The opton is no longer under 'advanced', but has been replaced by a single option for "Web Service Man...
Sorry for typos, I meant you have to use the app for security purposes so the function has been removed from the router but remote services included remote management on the app, people turn things on without knowing sometimes what the consequences are, also the app I believe is seen as more secure too. Also Netgera have been hardening things a bit, as mentioned HTTPS would be safer than HTTP so maybe you now need that on for the app to communicate this function.
Hey, thanks.
I hear you - I have no issues with HTTPS over HTTP - but the remote acces was always HTTPS only, and on a random port. That's completely gone, so I can't configure it in any way (I had a specific port chosen before).
The app (Nighthawk) has very limited functionality and there is nothing under security unless you subscribe to the optional 'armor' service.
Turning HTTP on under web services doesn't have any noticable effect (since media services and shares are handlled seperately, and secure channel can be turned on or off seperately.
Bottomline, nothing at all enabling remote access via a web interface anymore. Yes, the app works for remote, but again, has maybe 10% of the functionality of the admin interface...
