Security
We strongly recommend that you enable 2FA protection for all users. You can enable 2FA protection in global settings or click Enable on the 2FA message.
We also recommend setting up a new admin user and deleting the system user with the name admin. This increases security against unauthorized access attempts.
Internet access:
For internet access (non intranet connections) the port 443 should be open and configure to the WebConnect IP (Be sure the device have a static IP ).
To configure the router with the parameter access into it with 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (Configuration depend of the router). Log in with the admin credential and search for “port forwarding”, configure a new rule with the following data:
TCP port 443 and the IP of the WebConnect Box.
In case of having issues with this step, please contact with your router’s HelpDesk or call to your Internet provider if the router was included with the subscription
After all is set up. You can connect from outside your network removing “local-” from the URL of your WebConnect or using our Android and IOs APP.
Intranet URL example: https://local-SUBDOMAIN.webconnect.pro/
Internet URL example: https://SUBDOMAIN.webconnect.pro/

With some routers, even if the configuration is done, an extra step should be applied.
