URL control access for RN104
I've contacted the support crew at the web for a question: Is it possible to chage the admin URL of the NAS/apps? or Is it possible to restrinct the access of admin URL to a certain IPs? I'm worri...
What apps are you talking about? Most use their own port number, so you wouldn't need to expose the admin interface.
That is, if plex is configured to use port 32400, then the router needs to forward port 32400 to the NAS. However, https://ipaddress:32400/admin won't work - the admin interface won't be displayed. https://ipaddress/admin won't work either.
Also, if you enable remote http access to your shares, it is best not to enable http admin access.
If you do want to allow remote access to the admin interface, set up the secondary https port (choose a value in the range 49152-65535 - for instance 54321). Then forward that port, and you can access the admin interface with https://ipaddress:54321/admin. Choose a strong password of course.
