Hi all,

I got the Vodafone Ultra Hub setup a while ago as part of a new Fibre X connection here in Wellington. Generally it's been going really well and better than my trusty old cable connection, so thanks VF for that.

I'm a little dismayed though that the Ultra Hub exposes a number of services to the internet, or at least my one does. Currently I have ports 80, 443, 8080, 53 and 121 open to everyone on the internet. Port 80 is a login screen for my Ultra Hub that I'd really prefer wasn't just sitting out there, and certainly I never find myself having to fiddle with my router from anywhere else but home.

Now - maybe I'm dumber than the average bear, but i can't for the life of me find where to turn any of this access off. Is it possible to at least turn off the remote access functionality for this router?

I should mention this is on a static IP as well, if that makes any difference to the situation. If you need any more info please just holler - I'm here all day :)

Any help much appreciated, Craig

Thanks for your reply.

Hmm not sure as - I'll have to give it a try when I'm back at home this evening. Certainly Shodan says ports 53, 80, 123, 443 and 8080 are open, and nmap backs this up.

But that's how it is (and should be).

Apologies - bumping this thread after a year or so (time is at a premium here). GRC Shields UP has this to say (below) - does anyone else with a VF home hub have this issue as well, or just me?
