After login the source IP is used as the session identifier, so that users sharing the same source IP are able to gain full authenticated access to the WEB-UI. The access attempt will only be successful if the former authorized session has not been terminated by the authorized user or by session timeout.

Customers using Phoenix Contact FL NAT SMx devices are recommended to operate the devices in closed networks or protected with a suitable firewall.\ For detailed information on our recommendations for measures to protect network-capable devices, please refer to the [application note:](https://www.phoenixcontact.com/assets/downloads_ed/local_pc/web_dwl_technical_info/ah_en_industrial_security_107913_en_01.pdf) To protect the device from an attacker who has gained access to the closed network, or if there is a possibility that multiple users might share a VPN connection with a single endpoint IP, it might be considered to: log off from the WEB-UI immediately after administration\ disable the WEB-UI and use configuration access via SNMP instead
