thegreatheed Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Go into a touchscreen or flash interface via a controller video out, or via flash on the pc and do a service check in and see if it is successful. This will update the IP and "wake up" the openVPN tunnel.This should then allow the iOS app to work correctly.You missed half of what I said. Anywhere Access doesn't use openvpn.It's not vulnerable to the scenario you listed above, as it uses another server to negotiate and directly connect to the apps over an extremely secure connection.

pstuart Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 ok, we will agree to disagree. My testing shows the iOS app has a connection to C4 which may or may not be using openVPN capabilities, but there are references to it in the package and the traffic looks identical to the open source openVPN solution available. Then the controller and C4 do use openVPN to create a secure tunnel...Anyway, best to NOT port forward, use your own VPN if you can, but acess anywhere from C4 is better than port forwarding for sure.And nothing without two stage authentication that relies on a password sent unencrypted (yes the iOS traffic is such) is not extremely secure.

thegreatheed Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 You see the raproxyd (Remote Access Proxy Daemon) service on your controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 You see the raproxyd (Remote Access Proxy Daemon) service on your controller?That would be the "listener" for the VPN request to initiate a connection to the C4 servers, which then tunnels to either your computer (web nav) or your app device.
