    Encrypt Share Folders?

    Is there any way to add encryption for the AiDisk, and subsequent Share directories? It seems rather pointless having separate user directories, with separate passwords when it's easy enough to simply pull the USB stick out, and shove it in your computer's port. I believe EXT4 supports...

    Increase password length?

    Is it just me, or does 16 characters just not seem long enough? Also, why are we limited to a maximum of only 5 user accounts (6 if you include the administrator)? That's obviously not a limitation of Samba. Such limitations! Is there a workaround which doesn't limit me to SSH only access...

    Is it possible to upgrade firmware remotely via VPN?

    The fact that @RMerlin holds back the source code and the description of the security issues fixed in 384.4_2 to allow us to update our routers first (which I appreciate!) gives me the feeling that I should update all routers in the family ASAP. However, I won’t be able to visit one of them in...

    Zero two-way IPS hits on my RT-AC86U?

That seems unlikely... What can be wrong? How can I investigate this? (All routers have a similar...

    So a long time ago I was a network security guy, but I'm afraid some rust may have me thinking crazy. Admittedly, I've also realized that sometime in the tradeoff between highest security and easiest to deal with, I tend to slide a bit more towards the easy side than I used to. Anyway, I was...
