    Remote Access

    I'm able to access my VU+ Duo on my home network by logging in to the IP of the receiver.......
    But how do I do the same task say from work ?
    I have read this guide The only thing that I have yet to do is....
    Configuring the Webinterface on the reciever

    First you need to go to your plugins menu. See below...

    Click here to enlarge

    Next you need to select the 'Webinterface' plugin and you should see the below or very similar.
    Click here to enlarge
    Here you need to set the below parameters.

    a) 'HTTP Port' - It is strongly recommended that the port number 80 is changed to another random number. For this guide i have used port 1222

    b) 'Enable HTTP Authentication' - For added security you should enable this so that upon connection to the web interface you will be asked to supply a username and password. (This guide assumes that you have a password set on your box already)

    That brings us to the end of the config for the Webinterface.
    Is this the part that allows me to log in from another location ? (not on my network)

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I'm pretty sure that's configured, I can log onto my router remotely from work to restart it.
    So....Do I just need to do this part ?

    yes u do for security reasons but u can ignore it and just make sure the webinterface is enabled. from experience u'll need to change the port to anything other than 80 and thus u need to forward this port to the vu ip address...

    What settings do I need to input into the Webinterface Plugin to allow me to remotely access my VU+ Duo from a remote computer..
    And how do I access it when It's set up ?
    Do I put this in the browser
    myname.dyndns.org:1232 (1232 being the port number)



    Thank you

    1- u have to change the port number in the vu webinterface setting to 1232
    2- from your router, u have to forward the port (1232) to the local ip of the vu
    3- type myname.dyndns.org:1232 into your browser and u should have the access.

    it is recommended if u gonna access the vu remotely to enable authentication.

    Can I use the same Port Number on the VU that I am currently forwarding on the router for C/S ?
    Or do I need to forward another port number ?

    Sorry for all the questions.

    Thank You.

    Nothing to be sorry for at all, everybody is welcome and needs to ask to learn

    i would say you need to forward another port other than that used for C/S

    it can be used through the webinterface in two ways.

    1- restart enigma2: webinterface> box control> power control
    2- through webremote: webinterface> box control> remote control and according to ur image u can restart it as if u r home using the real remote control

    Thanks mate. Is this easier than using 'putty' then for example? It seems it! I've not tired putty yet by the way...

    ***By the way, I can view my bouquets, but cannot access anything else when I type in my dyndns username**** I take it this will change once I have followed the guide to forward port 1222 etc in my router?

    i am sorry but i can't get this "Is this easier than using 'putty' then for example"

    putty is a telnet client so what does it have to do with webinterface.

    I have no idea neither mate! I've just heard that 'putty' can be used to restart ccam externally. SO I was wondering if the 'web interface' as instructed here is easier for a newbie like me!?

    well it is possible but for me webinterface is much easier (the preparation need to use putty is a hassle for me)

    Cant get this to work.

    Ok in my modem I have two options to forward port which I have to type numbers in to both... - PUBLIC PORT AND PRIVATE PORT.

    Now on v+ duo I have

    HTTP PORT

    AND

    HTTPS PORT

    Both are ticket to YES. I have made a number other than '80' but I still cannot login when i type my dns address : number I have forwaded port to!

    Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? I have the modem MSI RG54G3

    On my receiver I also get the error message 'WEBNTERFACE COULDNT LISTEN TO PORT - (MY RECEIVER IP AND THEN : PORT NUMBER)
