Re: Your dreambox connected safely to the internet
[quote=jaseyx]Hi,
Ever wondered how to connect your dreambox safely to the internet in such a way that you can use the Enigma Web Interface from any place in the world?
The dreambox is connected to the internet in such a way that you can:
* add timer events and download recorded movies
* use all othere Enigma Web Interface functions
Attached is a pdf file with a solution for people who have a (NAT-)router, an Apache web server, a firewall and a dreambox. It describes how to get your webserver to forward requests to the dreambox and forward the answers from the dreambox back to the internet browser.
Prerequisites:
* Apache needs to be installed and running
* The router needs to forward requests on port 80 (http) to the Apache web server
* The firewall needs to allow traffic between the Apache web server and the dreambox on port 80
As the dreambox is not directly connected to the internet it is not possible to use telnet or FTP to access it. Only http will work.
I didn't try the streaming over the internet as I probably have a ADSL connection that is not fast enough (upstream 80KBps) anyway. It would also require the NAT-router and the firewall to be open on port 31338-31339, which would mean that my DM7000S is directly accessible from the internet on these ports. I don't want these viagra/gambling/virus guys to use my dreambox that easy.
Good luck!
Jason[Dear jason, thanks for your very interesting post and congratulation for the clarity of your explanation. Even me who is far from being a computer specialit, will try to make it working as it is quite interesting when you leave on holiday for an other place wher Internet is available but not the DreamBox.
If I may, I would like to ask you with which tool are you realising your pdf file has it is well illustrated with graphics and sheme ?
Good luck./QUOTE]
