How Remote Access works
Monument is designed to connect to your device from anywhere over a secure, encrypted end-to-end channel using the Monument apps. When configuring the Remote Access feature, Monument first attempts to use the port 8201 on your router using a network technology called UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). This connection allows Monument apps to connect securely to your Monument device using this port.
If UPnP is not enabled or can not be configured on your WiFi router, Monument automatically uses ssh reverse proxy setting as an alternative to authenticate with the Monument apps.
