CLOSED: Am I exposed to the outside world?

Postby stedetro » Sun Sep 27, 2015 12:42 pm

Hi all,

Just installed Amahi, and all seems to be working. When I go to the Amahi control panel and select my HDA, it has my nickname, IP Address, and status.

The address isn't 192..., it is a real address! When I type this into my browser, my Router home screen appears.

I need help. I don't want anyone (for now) accessing my computer outside my home network, and I certainly don't want people be able to get straight to my router's home screen.

How can I stop this from happening?

Thanks.

No one can access your home network unless you forward ports outside the network.

You could always see your router if you entered the IP address your ISP provides you. That is normal behavior and the use of Amahi has not changed that.

No problem. We would warn you if your network was being exposed due to Amahi.
