Hi,
Forgive the seemingly basic question, am looking for some help on the security of the above as my knowledge in this area is zilch.
When using an Ethernet card, say with an Arduino / Micro , as a web server connected to the pcs router via its address of 192.168 etc.
Is it then only visible by my PC /Router or does this allow anyone on the web to access /hack it ? and therefor expose the main pc to be also hacked more readily ?
Is there anyway /anything I should be doing to make it more secure ?
( my routers default password has been changed for something better)
Same with the ESP8266 wifi modules, while I read that it does use the routers wifi password, can it also be seen by the rest of web via the router ?
