AC87U - Can't access Download Master from WAN

[Malhavoc]

I have been used to have it working perfectly since I had bought it a couple of years ago, but recently I noticed I can't access the Download Master page from outside my LAN.

After some tries, I've come to this facts:

- works perfectly from LAN, both through web page and using the Download Master android app

- works from WAN only through the HTTPS web page, but the HTTP web page just times out

- the android app fails to connect from WAN every time, regardless if I configure the HTTP or HTTPS address/port

- I double checked that the option within DM to let it be accessed from WAN was checked.

- Restarting the router doesn't fix it

At first I had read people saying that the issue was in the android app, but I actually noticed that the HTTP (differently from the HTTPS) web page doesn't work even from browser, when outside the LAN.

May the issue be in some wrong configuration, or is it a bug coming from a recent firmware update? In that case, is there a known workaround?

Just for anyone bumping into the same issue: seems like I've managed to fix it by changing the port for the HTTP service from 8081 to another (8381 in my case). Still wondering what the issue was, but at least now it's working..
