Hi, Why we still don't have any option to access GUI management through https and disable http, either for remote management and for local management Using http any being impossible to disable it is a big security issue, even through LAN

Sorry, I meant page 160. The example shows: http://134.177.0.123:8080 when it should be https://137.170.0.123:8080. On page 159, the picture shows Remote Management Address: https://0.0.0.0:8443.

Are you able to access your router remotely using http? I always get an error if I try.

I never tried remote, but through LAN. Only option is http

In manuals and options, i only see http for remote, with option to change port, which is kidding as of security

Even locally, a bad site can sniff the pass by redirecting a simple malicious script to the http admin gui. If you saved pass, it can sniff it

  Remote management is definitely https, not http. The R7000 manual has a typo on page 180. If you look on the configuration screen on page 179, it's correctly shown as https.
  
  The local connection is still http, so you still have a valid point, here. You can vote for adding https here.

    I see nothing relevant P180 !
    
    Remote management is in P159-160
    It definately shows using http through a custom port, no SSL through 443 port
