API security question

[whereismyanimewaifu]

@LupusE

GL.iNet App

What app? API used to make App work?

@LupusE

DDOS the API

Can I rate limit such connections via firewall?

@LupusE

ping the router to death

Blocked for additional security:

LAN connection help

Maybe it is possible to block Ping to router (router must be invisible for Ping) but allow between devices and passing through (to 1.1.1.1 for example) So only router must ignore (without errors) pings, but other ones should work.

@admon

The API itself uses the login from your web GUI; so it's as secure as your normal login.

Ok, so no worries
