Hey guys,

 

At work we have moved from a HG659 to a Ultrahub for our 2nd connection. Trying to forward port 80 and it says Reserved for internal use. Also tried to DMZ as a temp fix (only temp don't panic) but it specified it won't do a bunch, including 80.

 

I don't mind changing the access port for the gui but I can't find it? Can I achieve this at all or do I need to get another router.

 

Cheers

I don't know the answer, and I'm sorry to be 'that guy', but have you considered using HTTPS (443) instead?

The Ultra hub does not do port 80 forwarding as it reserves the port for remote access to its own menu.

 

You'll need to use an HG659 or alternate router instead.

Turns out DMZ works even though it says it doesn't.

 

Sigh. At least a temp fix.

Unfortunately not something I can change right now. :/

What's the server running? Is it hardened? Do you have processes in place to burn this machine to the ground in about 30 minutes?

DMZ should never even be a temporary fix. You expose everything including ports that shouldn't ever be on the internet and the internet is a very hostile place.

 

I flicked you a private message with more information given this is a rather serious security oversight. You're better to create a port forward to another port (eg 8080) than expose a server via a DMZ. It is not an if this will be pwned, it is a when this will get pwned.

Appreciate the concerns team :) Least people care for others here, thus why I hang around haha.

 

Don't stress, its back to port forward only on a random router I had around. The ultrahub worked well, except for that small downside. Tad annoying but ah well.

 

Now to convince the powers that be to move to hosted for the small webserver... Not like they're expensive and gets rid of all these issues.

 

(FWIW it just runs a small site for 'internal' use by multiple sites. Nothing major at all, was a project someone built and it just stayed onsite once it was done)

Worst case, if you need external access to it could consider Cloudflare Tunnel (although would need to delegate DNS to Cloudflare).
