Feature request allow custom port #15

Closed Shuna322 closed 4 months ago

Shuna322 commented 1 year ago

Personally, I use WoL over Ethernet and to improve some security I try to use unconventional ports. Could you add this feature to the app?

Florianisme commented 1 year ago

Hi,

some users had that request before but I always argued that it might increase complexity (on an already complex topic) and that security should not rely on choosing a different port. But I'll have a think about it.

On a side note: Wouldn't a port scanner expose the different port anyways?

Shuna322 commented 1 year ago

Generally yes, port scanners with banner information may allow the detection of the service for a specific port. The other thing is - I have multiple devices in my network that I want to wake up remotely, so different ports are necessary to differentiate between devices from Wan. I currently use some other app for that use, but this one popped out in my recommendation and I was interested in Google Home and WearOS integration

I upgraded to the beta version myself, and I've been using it on the phone and my watch works perfectly. Great work!
