By default the core client accepts GUI RPC connections
|

only from programs on the same host.

NOTE: this means that any user on the same machine
|
|
can control the core client.
|

This is undesirable; we are planning to add
|

a password-based protection mechanism to GUI RPC.

<p>

|
You can allow remote hosts to control a core client in two ways:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> If you run the client with the
|
|
-allow_remote_gui_rpc command line option,
|
|
it will accept connections from any host.
|
|
This is not recommended unless the host is behind a firewall
|
|
that blocks the GUI RPC port (1043).
|
|
<li>
|
|
You can create
|
|
a file remote_hosts.cfg in your BOINC directory containing
|
|
a list of allowed DNS host names or IP addresses (one per line).
|
|
Those hosts will be able to connect.
|
|
The remote_hosts.cfg file can have comment lines that start with either a #
|
|
or a ; character as well.
