      Hi guys,

      May somebody tell me how to set the DWC or rather how to realise the DWC reachable secured from outside the own home network?

      Many thanks

      Dan

        VPN comes to my mind (Virtual Private Network). With an SBC, there are similar tools (SAMBA?), but I haven't tried it myself.

        Do you really want to control the printer or just check? Maybe an IP-Camera would be better suited then?

          @o_lampe,

          Many thanks for your replay.
          O.k. VPN does that mean that I have to buy software to be able "tunnel" my data through the www?
          What about speed? Is there any significant performance lose?
          To to your question:
          Honestly it makes just sence to observe the print process trough the cam and maybe start a print and stop the process when problems occures.

          I guess that just that will be necessary

          Many thanks in advance

            @topenga The usual approach is to alter your firewall/router so that the DWC port is forwarded to the outside world as a different port.

            1. Find out your home network public IP address by going to Whatsmyip.com or similar web sites. This may randomly change depending on your provider.

            2. Forward port 80 of the DWC to port ? (say 8324) of the home network. - this is a security concern so I'd unforward it when you're finished

            3. You may need to enable CORS on the DWC -- M586 C"*"

            4. From outside, browse to my-public-ip:8324

              @markz many thanks for that suggestion/information. Will try that as well how to easy and fast after ending observation of the printer to ensure the port again.

              Will let you inform how it works

              Many thanks
