EWA Automatic login range

[psycik]

If I have the folllowing: 127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16,169.254.0.0/16

Why would that allow me to login from the internet with no login. Is it because it's coming through my router?? (I've port forwarded 27647 to 7647)

from my experience I would say it should not auto login with those IP addresses.
it should come from your router with the source IP address of the public IP address that represents the remote client and not your routers inside IP address, for that to happen your router would need to be NATing to the inside address which is unlikely if its a standard home gateway device)
If you look in your log (can be reached from the statics page on the web GUI it will show the username that it logged in with and the IP address it saw the user coming from.

yeah the log says, logging in from the router - if nothing else is there an easy way of excluding the .1 address of a sub net?? And only autologin everything else?

bump for UJB...

Any ideas on how I can get this to work how I want??

I.e. external internet (which comes through my router) to login, and when locally connected no login?? So maybe force autologin for 192.168.1.1 and allow everything else from that subnet.

Strange that it shows this as the IP address, but maybe use: 192.168.1.1/32

But wait I answered your question without thinking about the effect... that'll allow everyone in, right? No, I don't think you want to do that.

What router do you have, btw?

A linksys wrt54g (running dd-wrt)

linksys normally uses 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199 for DHCP...

[psycik]

Yep it does and there's a static on .50. But how does that help me??

I took a look at the dd-wrt forum: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewforum.p...552eef0995

It seems to be very active and quite "deepdigging". I wouldn't be surprised if it were a "router-thing" that is giving you this trouble. Maybe you should ask there too.
