Howdy.

I spent a fair amount of time working my way through Google in my attempt to free up port 80 on my HG659 (that's there for the tech support lol..).
Got a spare HG659 lying around (for a backup) and would love to free-up the one I'm using right now.

I've tried editing the IPTABLES, but in all honesty I'm not very familiar with customizing them.
After flushing some rules the external port would still bring me to the router's gateway page.
Edit: I realize that I may be looking at the wrong area now. :\

Can anyone shed some light on this topic? :)

Thanks.

I flashed the vodafone hg659 with Spark latest firmware. All ports are now stealth. 'vfremote' login is also gone (You can't see this ID login).

Edit: I'm using this on bigpipe

Jase2985: flash with the spark firmware?

That's right - I downloaded it from here: http://help.spark.co.nz/app/answers/detail/a_id/35558/~/update-modem-firmware---huawei-hg659

I can confirm that all ports are now stealth, vfremote ID is gone, the gateway is now inaccesible from the internet once you disable the remote management (in the vodafone firmware, the gateway is accesible via the net despite disabling remote management).
