Access Transmission Web from local network with no password?

Is it possible to configure the Transmission Web UI so that a username and password is not required if accessing it from a local network, but is required if accessing it from a remote network?

There has been a similar question posted in the Transmission forum here https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewto ... =3&t=12257 but as yet there have been no replies.

Can anyone think of a away of doing this?

P.S. I am running a ReadyNAS Duo.

  • Since the post is over 4 months old without a reply, I don't think there are to much people who know a solution.

    You might work around the problem if you use a remote client that can save the password. There are several clients shown here for most platforms, including mobile ones.

    If you don't want that, then you might be able to make a password-protected frontpage which either forwards you to the webGUI if you've got the right IP or asks a un/pw.
  • +1 to JarnoG. Use a password for both, and get a client that remembers the password.

    I use 3 clients:
    PC: Transmission Remote 3.24
    Android: transGUI
    Mac: Transmission Remote
  • I too use Transmission Remote on my PC, the problem is I'm forced to use the web UI on my iPhone and iPad as there are no Transmission apps for iOS, at least none that I’m aware of without Jailbreaking.

    I’m wondering if I can have a second instance of the Web UI on the ReadyNAS that is configured to use no username or password and run that on a different port, that way I can have a bookmark for the ‘internal’ web UI and a password protected instance that is externally visible. I’m not sure if running two instances of the Web UI is possible?
