Hello,

as KeyHelp is also served by the webserver, it is not possible to change the port for KeyHelp.
Viele Grüße,

web server for standard ports sure, not necessarily something that cannot be done with apache, nginx nor openlitespeed, per se.

It just gives the end user and extra layer of security, in this case via the firewall.

obscurity is not security 😃

firewall is also active on port 443.
a higher portnumber does not stand for higher security.

you could use an Apache-Proxy Solution to simulate another port if necessary.

So the ips set and allowed to login to the admin pages are firewalled right?

BTW, i only been using this web app for a week but yeah it ticks a lot of good boxes for me thus far.

Im only trying to be constructive on the matter, is all.

Actually i can still load the admin page from an IP that isnt whitelisted, how is that firewalled? Doesnt sound like a network firewall, more a web app firewall. I hope the web app is bullet proof then.

Network layer firewall through a whitelisted IP and custom port does not equal obscurity.
