QVidium Firewall Software
This software requires kernel 247 or greater and application 251 or greater. To find your aplication version, click on System/Version. Under application is a version number of the form: 1.0.0-XXX, where XXX is your version number.
Download: netfilter-9.pkg to your PC.
Then, click on System/Update to install.
Our approach to security is the user must explicitly add the Public IP addresses
that need to connect to the encoder and decoder into a whitelist.
For example if your PC needs access to the encoder or decoder from the Internet,
you need to add the WAN IP address of the router that the PC is behind.
The software automatically adds a the subnet associated with the current network
configuration of the encoder or decoder. For example if the decoder has IP address
192.168.1.23 and the Netmask is 255.255.255.0, then the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet is added.
That means any IP address between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 can connect to the encoder or decoder.
Configuration
- Point your browser to Firewall->Config
- Select Yes next to the Firewall control.
- Add IP Addresses to the Whitelist and check the box to enable the IP Address.
For example for ARQ to work, you need to:
- add the encoder's IP address on the decoder's whitelist
- add the decoder's IP address on the encoder's whitelist
If the decoder or encoder are behind a NAT/Router, you use the public WAN IP address of the router in the whitelist.
- Press the "Change Firewall Configuration" button.
