Tips & tricks

In a previous post , I've described how to open remote management for your bbox2 / local modem-router via ssh. I've found an easier and more secure way to achieve this : Prerequisites : * You have PuTTY (or an ssh client) * ssh server on your local network is reachable from wan In PuTTY settings > Connection > SSH > Tunnels , define the following : Source port : 8080 (or any free port on your computer running PuTTY) Destination : 192.168.1.1:80 (assuming your router ip is 192.168.1.1 and the default web interface running on port 80 ) Click on [Add] Apply changes You can now connect on your router web interface from your computer running PuTTY via the following address : http://localhost:8080/

Prerequisites : Synology NAS accessible via SSH lynx installed on the nas (you can install it with ipkg) If you want to remotly access to the router's web configuration page but didn't enable the option before, here is the way to do it : Connect via SSH to your server inside your local network Telnet the BBOX (192.168.1.1) login : admin pwd : BGCVDSL2 (if you didn't change it) Change the remote port with the following command  rg_conf_set admin/https/1/port 7777 Enable the remote access rg_conf_set admin/https/1/remote_access 1 Exit telnet Connect to the web interface localy with lynx (a command line webbrowser) lynx 'http://192.168.1.1/index.cgi?user_name=admin&password=BGCVDSL2' This is done probably because the admin web interface need to be accessed in order to load the new parameters You can now connect on your BBOX web interface through port 7777 #1   #2
