Even though I have "Enable Web Access from LAN" off, if I turn off the firewall and query my public IP from a remote location using curl, I get a screen saying "You cannot login unless logout another user first." (sic) More concerning is that there is a javascript array called dhcpLeaseInfo that contains a list of all my internal devices with internal IPs. At a minimum, it's a list of equipment in my home worth stealing because each IP is accompanied by the device name, iPhone, Macbook, etc.

I only turned off firewall to test a problem, but either way, this doesn't seem like a good thing.
 
i don't believe that screen is part of the actual webui, it's one of a few that show up when things aren't going right. that said, don't disable the firewall lol.

If you disable your firewall, then everything on the router will become WAN accessible. This is normal.
