Dlink

So, dlink makes an attempt to make a VoIP capable device. Unfortunately, their webinterface is horrible as usual (like all their other equipment I know of), not saving updated values, and just plain ugly.

Anyway. There’s also an option to provision these units. And, this is “very secure”, “using HTTPS”. No encryption / encoding on the client side, so you’ll end up putting the complete plaintext configuration online, without being able to control access to that. Some of their excuses:

  • It’s HTTPS, so it’s secure! (Yeah, right.)
  • You should only allow specific IPs (So I can still grab $another_customers information)
  • You should filter on macaddress! (Sure. I’ll tell my apache just that!)

.. and probably more to come. I’m currently far from impressed, especially since I noticed they didn’t do/use DiffServ. Well, actually, they claim to do it, and did gave me a firmware. However, the interface is (again) horribly broken, and packets still don’t get tagged properly.
This has an Inventel-vibe all over it again. Sigh.
