Hi there,
I have a Linksys adsl/cable BEFSX41 4 ethernet ports router and cable
internet connection. How can I manage it securely remotelly coming through
the internet, without password being transmitted clear text-it is for a
remote location-, also how can I allow VNC to come in so I can manage the 4
computers connected to it?
Thanks a lot, Calin

Personally, I would install VNC on one PC and listen on a non-standard
port. Just for sake of example 50000......forward port 50,000 on the
router to the internal IP of that PC....and make sure you have
authentication. From there (once you VNC to that box) you can open up
a browser to 192.168.1.1 and you won't be passing anything via open
http, although I'm fairly certain that enabling remote admin is
https. Basically youd be accessing the web interface from the inside.

>From there, you can use terminal services or RDP from that one box to
the rest, or forward 4 ports on the router to the VNC apps on each
server (provided they arent all configured with the same listening
port).

If you truly do want external web management on the router, there is
usually an option to enable this, but I would recommend changing the
port and username/password to something very secure, if possible on
the port side.
