I am really embarrassed to ask this, but I figured I’d ask before interrupting Matt and Jay’s dinners to activate my reflector:
If I am using a registered domain that points to my dynamic WAN IP, what are the pros/cons of using a Reflector?
Benefit I can think of is the mitigated risk of:
a) an open port on my firewall with Digest auth
b) somebody snooping my home IP via my server from my iphone via a man in the middle exploit (i think i used that right), though Reflector might allow this too
c) ... um... uh. I’m out
Downsides:
a) Refreshing image frequency?
As a 6 year dedicated user, I’ve only used Reflector when I was double-NAT’d in a fancy apartment building.
