Whomever runs this site is not helping to ensure our security. It is not a hamvoip or Allstar supported site. We would really like to see it shut down as everything we are doing right now is aimed at improving security. Any hacker has an immediate list of every Allstar IP address using this site and could hit every address specifically. I would also warn that because it is an independently run site there is no guarantee it will always be there. Our upcoming DNS rollout will be very secure but it is people like those that run <a href="http://asnode.org" target="_blank">asnode.org</a> that ruin a good thing.

Supermon and allmon are http applications and for them to work externally requires that port 80 tcp be forwarded in your router. Some providers do not allow outgoing port 80 from their customers although this is much less common than it use to be. If that
is the case the http port can be changed in the apache configuration. <br>

In order to reach your system from a remote location you need to use the public IP address assigned to you by your provider. This is most often a dynamic address meaning it can change. You could check it using your allstar with a command - dns-query <yournode>
The problem is is could change. The answer is to use a free Dyndns so that you address your home system by a domain name rather than an IP address. This domain name is then converted to an IP address which follows any changes that might happen to it.

All that being said be aware that the current allmon and supermon programs of any version are extremely insecure. It is very simple for a hacker to get into your system and your network if you open up ports to either of these programs. We are working on a fix
for that and it should be out in an update very soon. Until then I would NOT recommend opening your system to remote allmon or supermon.<br>
