A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

Hi there, been working on my selfhosted setup a bit lately and just noticed that if I browse to my own WAN-IP it will show to the public the interfance of my oc200 omada hardware controller. While it does have a login form with username password, id be much more confident if this wasnt public at all. I've looked online and in my settings but struggle to find anything related to this. Is it common that this is on be default?

Any pointers greatly appriciated.

Edit: Solved - I panicked without thinking I was on my own lan when checking this..

No I wasnt.. just realised this, thats a great relief really. Was afraid it had been publicly available all this time.

It's worth checking from an external network anyway, but I'd be surprised if it was public facing.
