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?
Its not the transfer which is the problem..... because, as you mention already, it is secured by httpS.
As the URL you use can also be used by others on the web, someone might just Brute-Force your admin password... and if they succeed, then have total control over frontview.
This is a big enough security risc for me. I would not like someone to delete one of my shares from frontview...

P.S. Brute forcing in a browser is bothersome and timeconsuming, and therefore very unlikely. A real brute force attack will utilize unattended automated tools and speed per password check can be much higher than expected.
P.P.S. Ultimately it comes down to your 'sensitivity' to security and your perception of the risk you are actually taking.
