I have the vu player app for viewing my box content on my iPad. However, I work away from home, often outside the uk. Is there any hardware available so I can remote access my box from anywhere?
You don't need any extra hardware the solo2 is capable of transcoding on the fly, you just need to setup a VPN and make sure your network is secured properly because you will be hacked otherwise.
I am not saying this to scare you but there is a ever growing scene of people who actively scan for open E2 receivers to steal access to their channels and worse.

Really? Any recommendations on making mine secure?
I have tried in hotels in the UK to access my box but never managed it.
you first need to open ports on your home router to allow you to connect to the receiver from outside your home network, and thats where you need to be careful and security conscious as people are looking for those open ports. I cant go into and further details as I personally do not use this feature.

A came across a chinese search engine a while back which deliberately scoured the web for satellite receivers/baby monitors/webcams. And yes surprise surprise a large number of the receivers found had no password or default password.

To be honest locking down FTP / Telnet and the WebIF a username and password is pretty much useless Enigma2 was never designed with security in mind. Those who are looking for vulnerable E2 boxes are scanning for well known open ports associated with channel streaming / transcoding and those are not covered by the default login credentials, E2 currently has no native way of securing those ports once open.Originally Posted by ronand
The only sure fire way to properly secure a E2 box is to setup a VPN tunnel with SSH, any thing else is just asking to be hacked and your details either sold on or used in a channel sharing app online.

Great info. Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into this a bit more before setting anything up.
