ESP8266 Community Forum

My concern is security. The esp8266 is basically an unknown quantity. At least until someone who understands the firmware on this device has gone through every line of code and confirmed there is nothing malicious there. Until then I'm not particularly comfortable with providing it with the keys to my LAN, ie.. password to my router in order for it to get an IP address and have access to the internet. This is a way to work around that if your objective is to simply pull data off devices in your local environment.

and this is my work around with your concern and mine:

ZTE MF70 usb wifi stick.


dedicated network to my devices.


always publicly available:
27.104.211.136:8001
27.104.211.136:8000

currenlty 2 esp connected to it.
one with .100 ip. the other is .101.

Great post it works but sometimes when I put the ip address in the browser it just timesout not sure what the problem is.

Hi Byricg ,

Can you post some sample code for communicating with 2 esp chips together.
