I've seen messages on another PVR forum saying that it is unsafe to expose your receiver to the internet but I want to find out if this applies to OpenVix too.
What I'd like to do is access the receiver over the internet when I'm away from home. For example, to stream recordings or to set timers. I can do these operations using OpenWebIF from a laptop on my home network but I'd like to do it from the laptop when I'm away from home. Is there a safe way of doing this?
I think OpenWebIF uses Basic authorisation which I'm guessing is insufficiently secure for that purpose. But would using it over a VPN be secure?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
