Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

Hi.
Do any of you know if it's possible to administer the DNS-323 remotely? Can I log on to the web interface even if I'm not at home and if so, how do I do?

yeah open for the port/ip in your router, then you sould be able to connect to it, from the out side...

You do NOT want to expose the web interface of the DNS-323 to the public internet - the security of the device is inadequate for this type of exposure.

A better way would be to turn on ssh (using the fun_plug modules) and access the DNS-323 remotely over ssh using port 22.
Note this is NOT the web interface.
You may also want to increase the security of the default ssh settings by doing things like turning off root login and requiring public key encryption (vs. password login).
If you want secure web login, the best/easiest way may be to tunnel over ssh.
Establish tunnel as follows:
First set up the ssh tunnel:
ssh <IP address or dns name of your dns-323> -L 8080:localhost:80
Then type the following url in your remote browser:
http://localhost:8080
or http://127.0.0.1:8080
Note you can actually substitute any number (ideally >1024) for 8080 as long as you use it in both places

Is this tunnel definitive or each time I gonna use it I need to do it?

Well you could keep the tunnel up.... but it will go down any time either machine reboots or either machine loses internet connection or if you do something to kill it.
The easiest thing I find is to set up a small script that runs it automatically.
BTW, you can tunnel all types of traffic over ssh -- it is a great tool to use at work or other places where they block various ports and traffic types. As long as you can create an ssh connection (over any port), then you can tunnel pretty much anything else over it in full freedom, security, and anonymity. (Now I am not advising you do anything illegal or against employer policies and there are at least in my case very valid and approved business reasons for doing this).
