Hi there

My HG659 won't detect my virtual device when it's on the network. Even if I manually create the device in the admin it seems like if it doesn't see it online it won't forward ports to it. Right now accessing port 80 from the outside.

I've set up evil.deceptico.nz to point to my current IP, which is 163.47.221.173.

If I go to http://evil.deceptico.nz/ I get redirected to https://163.47.221.173/html/pub/redirect.asp?origin=aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmlsLmRlY2VwdGljby5uei8= - is this the modem? Because if I go to http://163.47.221.173 I get my HG659 management page.

Seems like I have a stack of problems. Can anyone help?

Your domain resolves to your IP, when a user tries to access your IP the router checks if you are:
inside your lan->HG659 management page
outside your lan->redirect user back to their previous page (or similar)

[I presume based on your information]

Sounds about right. Not sure where the destination with the ASP url is coming from though.

Any ideas on the virtual mac device not being found by the router? Or is there some way to unlock a superuser mode on the router so I can just do a static forward to an ip address? Or is there something I can run on my windows device that IS found that can re-route by port to the virtual machine?

Is this a Vodafone HG659 by anychance? if so nothing you do will allow you to port forward port 80 as it is taken by the management page.

As for your VM, have you set the virtual NIC as bridge mode?

Okay, so I managed to ssh in and get a shell. I modified iptables to forward ssh to my virtual box by IP, which worked perfectly. I'm still getting that weird redirect on port 80 however. These are the port 80 rules on the box, including my rule for redirecting web traffic to my VM:

ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.1.4 tcp dpt:www
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere multiport dports www,https
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere multiport dports www,https
DROP tcp -- anywhere anywhere multiport dports ftp,990,www,https,ssh,netbios-ns,netbios-dgm,netbios-ssn,445,37215,37443,telnet

The first rule is the one I added. How do I modify these rules to pass external web traffic to my VM?

Yes I have. No matter how I configure it the VM won't show up in the management page as a device, so I've bypassed that entirely.

It looks like I can just modify the iptables rules to get around the strange port 80 configuration it has though, although I have used port forwarding with a bare metal device to capture port 80 traffic before. That's definitely possible. And yep, a Vodafone HG659.

If you want to port forward on port 80 you can always flash your 659 with Spark firmware which allows you to turn off the Remote Management over the WAN freeing up port 80.
