This thread seems appropriate for my question. I had htdigest enabled,
and logging in from public internet, but realized anyone could snoop
and find my password that way. I know about OPENVPN and that I can
enable on my buffalo-tomato firmware router, but then I have to run
client software. I want to be able to access it from my WM6 phone,
work computer (from behind work proxy), etc. Without loading any
software. I know I can connect to my bank securely and not load
software. Is that possible either on the router as a gateway to home
network, or the mythtv FE/BE?<br>

<div>Once you open up port 22 on your mythtv box to the internet,
it will be hit by computers trying to hack into it (check out logwatch
to find out). If you leave userID logins enabled, odds are you will
eventually get hacked.<br>

You don't need port 22. I said SSH, which can run on any port.
Denyhosts goes a long way toward stopping the random brute force
attacks if you want port 22 though. And, like you said, you can turn
off user/pass logins and force public/private keys. Even that's not
100% (Debian bug not so long ago), but it's a LOT better. And it's so
much better than HTTP digest auth that it's not really worth talking
about. <br>
