Hi friends, i've been spending some time reading this forum, searching for information about change default web GUI server port. I don't like very much to have the router with a standard port open to network users.

I know that i can configure 8443 as SSL but i want to "move" http to a diferent port.

Is this possible?

Thanks
 
If you enable the HTTPS option only than the HTTP port will be inaccessible and you can set the HTTPS port to a different number if desired. This will secure the network traffic to the router as well as anyone could just sniff the http data to the router.
 
thanks for the answer, do you think that will release port 80? i'm planning to mount a web server in standard and secure ports and i dint want any conflicts.

thank you again!
 
The ability of changing port 80 is something Asus has been gradually implementing for the past year or so. I believe the final pieces should be in their latest code, however I don't know if the change is complete yet. The complication arise from the fact that various features of the router expect the httpd to be answering on a given port (for instance, the block page shown by the Trend Micro Malicious Website blocker). It's more complicated than just binding httpd to a different port.
 
Code:
# Configure ports to something more sensible
nvram set webdav_https_port="8443"
nvram set https_lanport="443"
nvram set misc_httpsport_x="443"

nvram set http_enable=2

nvram commit
reboot

Code I have in my setup script.
