Router login
-
I have never setup my client's routers to be accessed outside of the network. I have a client who wants me to allow them direct access instead of connecting to a PC and then let login via the browser.
What's your take?
-
Generally a bad idea. Is there real value to doing this or just a customer not thinking through the ramifications?
-
Oh, the other tech's at the datacenter want direct access to make changes and don't want to connect to a PC first.
-
What PC are they connecting to, and are the credentials stored in the browser on that computer somehow? I'm confused how having them remote into a specific PC to do this when they likely need to know the credentials anyways adds any value.

This would be a one time log in and no, the password is not saved.

Ok, so how does having them use a separate PC make anything more secure? Unless they are using personal machines for work...
