Secure way to control Arduino devices from anywhere in Arduino Control Center(Part I)
Arduino Control Center has built-in web server which allows you to access your Arduino devices over Intranet(LAN) or Internet. By default setup, the web port for ACC is port 80. If this port is already used, you can set any other port. First of all, let's see how we connect to Arduino Control Center web server in a non-secure way. If you plan to access Arduino devices from the local network, you can access them simply by typing in the web browser http:// [YOUR_PC_IP_ADDRESS], for example, http://192.168.1.101 where 192.168.1.101 is IP address of PC with running Arduino Control Center desktop application and started web server. If you use any other port, for example, 8080, the address in the web browser will be like this: http://192.168.1.101:8080. How to start the server you can see here: Setup and start HTTP and UDP servers At this point, without any kind of port forwarding on a wireless router or whatever is your network configuration, you are pretty safe within a ...
