hello there
i used dynu.com to remote access and mange my mikrotik server winbox work okay but webfig no
my mikrotik configuration :
1- i used 2 lines ( load balancing via PCC )
2- all / ip services : allowed
my ADSL router configuration
1- port open 8291 for winbox
error msg i get when i try to access webfig via firefox :
so !! what is the problem ???
Webfig is http port 80. Pretty unsecure though for WAN.
so u dont recommend it ?
Just not really sure, I don’t think WebFig sends too much data unencrypted and it uses Java, but I really don’t know how strong that encryption is.

If you trust the ISP’s and datalinks in between you go for it. I would at least make the external port different than 80 though to obfuscate (And in case you have an actual http server that needs that port).
ok thanx for ur quick replay … if i decide to use it lets back to our main sub. how i can solve this problem with my ddns with webfig
Well you only said you had 1- port open 8291 for winbox.
Like I said Webfig uses http port 80, you you’ll have to set up the same firewall rules for port 80 as 8291 to open it up.
You can use ssl version of webfig on port 443. Just create a certificate and set it up.
a) webfig can use SSL, just enable it.
b) webfig doesn’t use java
c) you should use the built-in dyndns (ip->cloud) to simplify your setup
d) use WinBox when you can, it’s much faster than WebFig
