The linksys routers now have "Enable remote management" which has to be enabled before the unit can be remotely managed. You MUST change the password first thing you do, that only make sense, but no-one can access it unless you enable remote management. The routers use port 8080 for remote management so forwarding port 80 is irrelevant. I am talking about recent routers, older models may be different.
I know all this because I am currently setting up a BEFVP41 VPN router and I am accessing it remotely to get the VPN working, and it now works using the SSH Sentinel client, in case anyone cares.

By default, the BEFSR41 (I've got the BEFSR81) disables all incoming traffic. You need to specifically enable incoming ports, one port (or range of ports) at a time and direct them at an internal address. You should remember to enable port 80 and direct it to a non-existent internal host. That disables any management from the outside. If you haven't done so, and left the default password alone, you're very vulnerable. .../Ed Ed Wilts Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
