where is the configuration for R8000P remote management page?
I'm using the latest firmware V1.4.2.84_1.3.42 as of Jan 20, 2022 on my R8000P. Could not find the page to configure Remote Management? Was it used to be under Advanced > Advanced Setup? Where is it now?

In an attempt to minimize the potential access vectors (and to answer security related questions like intrusion prevention, offer https for all routers, provide certificate based auth on https only, ...) I believe Netgear is in a process of removing the port based remote access as part of their regular firmware maintenance, retaining the local and the App based cloud access only. This changes the name of the menu item there from Remote Management to Web Based Management, too.
This is for NETGEAR - It is NOT acceptable to suddenly removing a feature without a real GOOD replacement. Cloud base management is not an acceptable solution for many people including us. We cannot trust the roud trip through netgear to access our network configuration. Lot of folks prefer and need to turn on remote access as they need it, then turn it off once they are done using it. There is no good technical reason as to why remote HTTPS management access needs to be taken away.
