Trying to change port...!
« on: May 22, 2013, 03:08:27 PM »
Hi,

I managed to get the app set up great, first testing with the default port of 80. I turned off automatic forwarding as I use a firewall which doesn't support UPNP. I configured my port forwards in my firewall and router and I could then access my iPad's camera with my external IP address.

Then came the problem. Obviously I wanted to change from port 80 because it opens up all kinds of network vulnerabilities. I tried changing to 8094, by re-configuring my router and firewall and then replacing "80" with "8094" in the app. It didn't work.

I closed the app and opened it again, and the port had changed back to 80! It had remembered all my other settings, but not the port. Is this a bug? Currently I see no way to use any port other than 80 for external access since it just changes back when you open the app, and the only time the app attempts to configure itself with the port is when you first open it, there is no "reconnect" button.

Thanks in advance for your help on this  :)

Joseph.

Also, please tap next to the port edit box in ipCam to get it to register.
