How to access FrontView in WAN
Anybody know how to access Netgear ReadyNAS Duo Frontview via a browser in WAN? Tried setting the router TCP port to 443 but still no luck. Any suggestion?
Out of curiosity, how much of a security risk is it? I've opened Frontview up on the WAN, and I just point to "httpS://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin". I assume that "httpS" is "secure enough". I want to make sure I'm being as secure as I can be, but I also don't want to start messing around with SSH, etc.

This is not exactly what you are asking, but accessing frontview from WAN might be a unwanted security risk.
Personally I use SSH tunneling to access my complete home network from WAN. IMHO this is the preferred way of accessing anything from WAN to your private network.
It requires, however, a SSH aware router or something else which can setup a SSH connection.
My setup simplified:
localhost:12345 tunneling => putty => WAN => WRT54GL router => readynas:443
If you want to know more about this approach, just let me know.
