How secure is it to share media with the TVersity Media Server? Can someone gain access to my media without my permission?
The TVersity Media Server is configured by default to reject requests originating from outside your home network and therefore with this configuration any attempt to access your media from the Internet will be blocked (if you wish to access your media remotely you will need to enable remote connections and set a username and password for such connections). Here is what we suggest you should do to keep your home network safe: • You should protect yourself from viruses, spyware, worms and other types of malicious code. • You should put your home network behind a hardware firewall (or router with firewall capabilities). A firewall software running on your computer, while adding a level of protection, is not by itself sufficient. • You should run a firewall software on every machine on the network or at least enable the firewall software that comes with Windows XP SP2. When you enable the TVersity Media Server to act as a server you should take the time to create the most restrictive rule
