Many devices such as IoT devices, printers, or some SmartTVs do not have a browser to display the Dashboard. In order to still use Dashboard features, the Remote Dashboard is available in version 2.7.4 and higher. With the Remote Dashboard, you can use any browser to access the Dashboard for any device and configure settings (such as the Personal Device Firewall) for the device.
Please note that not all cards of the regular Dashboard are available with a Remote Dashboard.
To view the Remote Dashboard of a device, click on the “menu triangle” in the Dashboard, which is displayed next to the current device’s name in the Dashboard title. You can access all devices that have been assigned to you via the eBlocker user management.
As administrator you may access the Remote Dashboard for all devices after entering the administrator password. Once you have logged in you can access all devices from the menu. To go back to the local device select “This device” or “Logout”.
Example of Use #
You want to start a network game on your game console and you need the lowest latency possible. Then you can simply open the game console’s Remote Dashboard and set the eBlocker pause for the game period.
