For those of us who wish to connect remotely using Direct Access, please add 2FA.

This is from Norton Security: 

There are steps you can take to boost your IoT security.          

1. Approve security upgrades for your IOT devices

2. Create strong passwords for your IOT devices

3. Keep your router up to date

4. Use two-factor authentication: If you have the option, enable two-factor authentication to log onto your IoT devices. This does require an extra step when you are logging on, but two-factor authentication also makes it far more difficult for cybercriminals to access your devices.

  Voted up. This is literally the least y'all could do after reneging on the included remote access with the device.

  Agreed - Also, some of your documentation says port 443 is supported, but your "You're screwed, use direct access" email only states to use unsecured ports like 8080.  So which is it? I'm lucky enough to secure the connection through my firewall to only allow my device to connect, but others are opening up a huge hole in their network due to such a weak implementation of this.

  I'm bumping this, because this is a necessary option for security since you're taking away cloud access.

  I can't say I'm surprised at the lack of response to this thread. It's obvious the company is on it's last legs, and there is no real support available.
