A Great New Feature for InControl 2
We have come up with a handy new feature for InControl 2 and we need YOUR help to come up with a name for it.

So what is it? Well, imagine you have a remote device that doesn’t have any external ports open so you can’t access its Admin Web Interface from the internet (always a good practice) and you don’t have a SpeedFusion VPN to it either… how do you connect to its web based admin interface to manage it?
Until now the only options would have been to either use a software VPN client to PPTP into it, or connect to a device on its LAN (with Logmein or Teamviewer) and then use that device to access it.
Now we have (a very clever) third option - you will be able to use InControl 2. Here’s how:
- Login to InControl 2
- Select the device you want to manage
- Click the Settings menu and then Remote Web Admin
- TaDa! You can now access the admin web interface of the device through InControl 2!
How does it work?
- InControl 2 contacts the device and asks it to initiate a Remote Web Admin Session.
- The Device creates a secure temporary management VPN to InControl 2
- InControl 2 then proxies the Admin Web Interface so you can access it.
Its Single Sign-On, Its Secure and it Saves loads of time - no more digging through your notes for the usernames and passwords of your devices, no more dynamic DNS configuration needed for remote access. If the Remote device can communicate with InControl 2 then you can access the Web Admin Interface in a couple of clicks.
Trouble is, we need to come up with a catchy name for it - a clever name that reflects how clever the feature is (Remote Web Admin is far too dull) and we need your help.
