It is possible to access the user interface by visiting the URL http://hello.ntop.org
The default admin password is admin.
From the configuration tab is possible to edit some basic settings:
- The Global DNS, which is the safe DNS to use for non-child users
- The Child Safe DNS, which is the safe DNS to use for child users which also blocks adult and violent content
- The web gui Language
- The web gui Password. The default password must be changed.
By enabling Expert Mode is also possible to set some important settings:
- Default Policy Pass: if toggled off, it is possible to block all the network traffic by default and only let some specific traffic pass
- Network Mode: determines the operating mode of the device.
Choosing the Network Mode depends on the network topology in place and determines how the device will need to be wired.
