I currently get reports from users with problems to upload via SFTP to certain providers which turn SSL security measures tight. While PRO2 is not affected as the underlying OpenWRT core is using OpenSSL 1.1 which complies even to very restricted SSL requirements, users of PRO, NANO and RPI with OpenSSL 1.0 are at risk here. Unfortunately, OpenWRT does no provide back ports of OpenSSL 1.1 to the older releases and updating the OpenWRT core of a Meteobridge is something that is extremely complicated as it is not just rebuilding the Openwrt, but also rebuilding all libs and applications that are imported to the Meteobridge during loading the application stack. It would also need to spawn development into separate branches as old Meteobridge OpenWRT versions will still need different code than the new ones. Ontop a reflashing of the firmware on the Meteobridge will also bring up a lot of risks and potential issues. And all this for a couple of platforms. To be honest I cannot go this way.

This is to let you know that I am working an a future proof alternative to allow you to SFTP via a proxy-like mode through my Meteobridge server, which can be easily adapted to any advanced security stuff providers are deciding to use in the future. Stay tuned... and please give me some time to work this out.

A "Proxy-SFTP" option has been added to the latest build (September 30, 2023). Please read here: https://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/ ... ersion_5.7
