For VPN I've got a DLINK DIR-330 it does IPSEC and PPTP and both work great WIFI/3G. I picked it up dirt cheap $50 off Ebay. The VPN server is built in no extra parts needed. VPN is definitely for advanced users.
As for the security of SC that's not entirely unknown for starters it's open source and perl. Perl and the web go waaaaaaaaay back. Any time you open any port that's possibly available to public consumption though even ssh, even vpn(remember the hordes of brute force attacks on that) you're open to exposure. SC itself can be as secure as can be but if any part in the stack isn't..... I'm pretty sure Logitech and others don't want to be in the business of fielding complaints or blamed as the source of ill from folks who didn't patch or properly secure their Linux, Windows, Mac, etc., etc. device so if I were Logitech I'd give the same answer they did. For all intents and purposes though this is basic http traffic wether or not one should open it like any server really depends on your level of expertise and willingness to exposure and your own ability to mitigate that exposure. -- jtpowell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jtpowell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31597 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66511 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
