So I'm about to set up the web scheduling so I can do it from work or any where. I have all critical security patches installed on the computer. Do I need to be concerned with using port forwarding to that computer? Am I putting the computer at unnecessary risk of being hacked?
Is it better to log in to the router and set up the port forwarding right before needing access and then turning off the port forwarding afterward? Or is this being overly cautious?
