SmartLink Not Working with SmartSDR for iOS

I’m on the road with my iPad.  SSDR for iOS sees my rig at home but for some reason will not let me connect.  It says “Listening to SmartLink” and shows my rig, but when I click on the rig, it just goes back to the screen that says tap here to connect.  Anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?  Thanks for any help or suggestions that you can give.  73 de Carl N8VZ

    Preliminary diagnosis after consultation with Marcus:  I should not have set my SmartLink up at home using UPnP but instead have used regular port forwarding.  I will do that when I get home tomorrow and see if that solves the issue.  73 de Carl N8VZ

    Yes, indeed. Turn off UPnP - there is a serious security flaw in many implementations. If you have a recent miniupnp, you are good to go - it does not suffer from the flaw.

    [Edit to add the following]
    I run a Tomato-based router, and it is fine - I expect some of the other better routers (the IQRouter comes to mind) will also be OK.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
