  • for anyone keeping track, here is a (likely incomplete) list of ports that are not forwardable because they are "reserved for system use": 53 (DNS)67 (DHCP/BOOTP)80 (HTTP)443 (HTTPS; available if HTTPS web interface changed to something else)8080 (HTTP; common for proxy)8088 (HTTP; common for proxy)

  • Lovely. I really don't need anything that elaborate. Hell, I had a 8 year old Dell desktop running Linux as my router for two months before I settled on the G1, because it (seemingly) met my needs without spending a small fortune.
