## Notes
If either of these are running, it is not a problem:
* KOReader: the wireless connection (via Tools > Connect)
* Calibre: Connect/Share > 'Wireless device connection'
If Calibre is set to require authentication, it must use "basic" authentication, not "digest" authentication. Digest authentication is the default for unencrypted communications, but KOReader doesn't support digest authentication. See [issue #3953](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/3953). **Warning**: Unencrypted basic authentication is *insecure*. Anyone who can inspect your network traffic will be able to see your password. Only use basic authentication with SSL or when it's only run on a completely-trusted network without being exposed to the Internet.
