just remove port 80 from your port forwarding if you are worried about rouge access. On the VU app you just insert 8002 for the port with your wan ip address. You can tweak the transcoding set up via the remote.
Yes, no longer have access to it on port 80. If you left the streaming or any other ports open, someone will also find them soon.
Please stop advising folks to open ports on their network.

And how would you suggest that the box is secured for openwebif access and streaming? Surely a password is the only way to do both? Or are you suggesting that even with authentication switched on for streaming the box would still be un-secure?

Pretty much renders transcoding useless then does it not?

ok so guess VPN is the only secure way, guess I have a lot of reading up to do as I want it secure.
I know it may sound daft but as I currently have WIFI ( Lan )
can I also setup a VPN on the same network so I can access the box remotely, as I don't need the VPN for viewing the box on my pc I nthe same house will I or are you saying, make my full network a VPN

No .
No, VPN only used for external access to your home network.

I am not an expert in setting up VPNs so I guess you will have to take Judges advice and do some reading up. Sorry I couldn't help you achieve what you wanted without the security risk but I tried to help.
Good luck.

not a prolem graham, I appreciated all your help pal thank you very much
Yes, you use both. When on LAN, you don't use VPN, when on WLAN, you use VPN.
No idea, sorry. Lots of info I'm sure on networking sites that will help.

Firstly I would recommend that you change the default password which I believe is blank by default. The default user name is root. You will need to change this password via ftp or telnet . Once you have connected via telnet or ftp you will have to enter the command passwd . Enter the new password (the user name cannot be changed).
Once this has been done use your remote and go to plugins and select Openwebif. Make sure that you set authentication on for webif access and for streaming this way you have to enter your predefined password when you login (locally or) remotely when accessing port 80 ,8001 or 8002.
As far as security is concerned I don't know how this can be bypassed but I am sure Judge will know a way. I can only tell you what I know.
