Hello there, just started with DVSwitch server and working great, planning to link to allstar node as well in the future, but thats not related to my question today.

After setting up dvswitch server on an existing debian install, i was wondering if dvswitch server is only for local access (at home) or if there is a way to do it on remote as well ? 

I am asking because USRP connection doesnt seem to use a username/password connection so opening a port to the internet seem to be unsafe for me.

Is there any safe way to open make it open to the internet ? (a secure connection will be ideal)

Thks for you time and sorry my main language is french so i just wish i have asked it the right way

I am currently use DVSwitch mobile app on my cell phone and the DVSwitch server is runnig on my home internet. I want to use mobile app out of my home but find usrp connection not secure enough since it dont ask for a user/password to connect. Anyone thats know my callsign and dmr ID will be able to connect to it. Thats was my question : is there any other more secure way to connect instead of USRP?

Oh... now you are making sense..

You did not originally say the 'mobile app' but dvs server.

Can't help there with usrp security but I would say a hack would have to know your IP and PORTS to even attempt.

But it seems to me that you do need user/pass in iax conf to use the usrp or anything else 'in the server' and you should have that set in your mobile app. USRP is riding on a iax radio channel. see the user/pass you set-up in iax.conf for the mobile app or other.

You might want to look again.

DVSwitch Mobile can connect in 2 ways. 1: to a AllStar server in IAX mode. This does require username / password. 2: In USRP mode for digital modes. This does not require a username / password. If you want to protect your inbound connections via USRP, I suggest you add Analog Reflector. Analog Reflector allows you to control who can connect to your DVSwitch Server and what rights you want to assign. <https://dvswitch.groups.io/g/Analog-Reflector>
