Accesing Draytek router remotely was created by uk_tech901
Hello

I have just setup remote access to my Draytek 2830
However when i enter the ip address i am able to access it with out putting any port number etc. i feel this is not very secure
How can i set this up so i have to put in a port number at the end off it.

Any help would be great

Thanks

On the "Management Port Setup" section, select "User Defined Ports". Then change the http and https ports from their default (80 and 443) to whatever you desire. Personally if I do enable remote management (instead of using VPN) I only allow https and always change the port.

Thanks for your reply

I am enabled just HTTPS
However under user define ports i am quite confused as to how this work
I have tried accessing my router remotely and i can only do it via https which seems to have worked
but i do not need to port the port number at the end off it. Is this normal and secure?

However under user define ports i am quite confused as to how this work? and what to change

in define ports where is says HTTPS tick the box then on the right hand side where it says 443 (default) change it so something like 4343
Save the settings, the router will ask for a reboot
then from the outside you would access the device on https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4343
