schumaku Thank you for your opinions. According to this enhancement request, this function is going for the remote management not in a LAN environment. If as you say "majority of consumers don't have this.", why netgear add this remote management function (but come with a insecure environment)? Now netgear router providing this function, and as a consumer I want to use this function, but I want it would be in more secure, so I vote it here and draw netgear attention.
Actually, if this kind of insecure connection is not very important, why the web browsers like chrome/safari always prompt such annoying warning message everytime and you have to click 2 clicks to bypass it even you had connected to the same address many times? I don't think majority of consumers using the remote management function do not need a secure connection, they just don't know there could have a more secure connection.
In conclude, for me and another 106 guys who kudo this post have been waiting for 4 years, this is a essential feature that is regarding to connection security, and strongly recommend netgear could provide a solution.
