Hi Rohan, Yes, you can do this, but it is very inadvisable. But this has never stopped people like us has it! What you want to do is uncheck "Block private networks and loopback addresses" on the wan interface. Then you will need to port forward port 443 for https or port 80 for http, you can set this in System>Advanced>Admin Access>protocol there you can select http or https, I do recommend setting this to https if you are going to open it to the internet. When you know which port you want to forward go to Firewall>NAT>Port Forward and add a rule on top. The interface should be "wan", protocol "udp/tcp", destination "wan address", destination port range could be anything you like but you will need to type this after your ip like this ip:port, redirect target IP [your routers lan ip address], redirect target port "https" or "http" as you have chosen. For the description i would recommend "Allow remote management from anywhere (Dangerous!)". And we are done! I would recommend using a Dynamic DNS because your public ip address can change. Hope you can figure it out, TheGeniusL
