How do you require a password if one hasn't been set in the options? You can't. In order to get access to the settings from the outside you'd have to set a password. Otherwise you'd simply get blocked (http status 403 - "forbidden"), no questions asked. -- Michael

I see some LMS changes being made to try to improve this (password needed to get to settings from outside). Of course, it will need people to update their LMS to do it but a good first step. That's correct. I was fighting over this myself. But looking at open systems there obviously are quite

Yes did that. Had to do it on a new virtual instance of linux server install. Openvpn. Everything works out fine. Gave up on dd-wrt and openvpn server install there. Made it work but the router became unstable (100%cpu). Actually a better solution than exposing LMS direct to internett IMO.
