OK so I setup my router to port-forward to Mythweb and everything is working, but I want to know where my security is at.

I've changed my password and I think it's 'strong'. But I can't setup the ssh to socket for access with my iPhone. (I enjoy scheduling recordings on the fly...)

Is there any info on setting up https? I might have missed something on the wiki. Is there something else I can do to further secure my mythbox?

TIA

not sure what you are asking? can you reword a bit?

Are you tring to access mythweb via https? did you port-forward the https port (443 by default)?

ARe you trying to access the box via ssh?

Take a look at this post...

It goes over SSL HTTPS, etc.

I guess what I'm asking is "how secure is Mythweb with just a strong password for protection on port 80? How much better is a https connection then http?"

I mean I'm not running a bank out of my mythbox, but I don't want someone zombie'n it, or deleting everything either.

Thanks, working on this one now.

Actually, two questions here:

How do https and http compare security wise? - Password authentication for http is digest based, so it is relatively hard to crack. Not as hard as https, but probably good enough. More of a concern is that after authentication, someone can sniff the traffic and see everything you do.

How Secure is Mythweb? - Not very. There are many pages that are not password protected.

The post referenced earlier should help with both of these. Don't underestimate what/who is on the "internet".
