Admin panel open to the Web - Flint 2 - v4.8.2-op24

Routers

Hi.

I’ve a Flint 2 with the latest beta firmware (v4.8.2-op24).

I’ve just noticed that If I put my public IP on Firefox it opens my router admin panel.

Why??? Shouldn’t this happen only If I had the 80 port open on my router?

Can you test on your mobile connection with a phone? :slight_smile:

If it still happens, then something is not good.

If it only happens on the connected network, likely something with DNAT causes it, would be harmless aslong it isn't happening outside.

My guess is that it is one of those options in the gl ui's security settings doing a port forward redirection and it nat translated.

Edit:

Nvm i don't think it needs to be even a port forward setting in gl ui, occurs to me also on normal openwrt i'd guess it's due to nat masquarading to be more exact, still nothing bad :+1:

Thanks for the fast reply.

Yes, only happens on my computer, not on the mobile phone.

NAT is a helluva drug.
