Caution!
Your RevPi Connect can be reached wherever there is network access via the internet. Depending upon how the network access is safeguarded, it may be possible for other persons to also log-in to the device and gain access to files and every single function. Therefore you should always select a “strong” password and when in headless operation – access via the network – only work using devices you know. Unknown devices could for example register keyboard entries and therefore spy on your log-in data.
