Disabling remote management on a Sky Q Broadband Hub

[JoesMARAGI]

I can visit the router settings page from the public IP, and i want to disable it to make the router more secure, is there a way to do this?

@JoesMARAGI Replace that old sky Q hub. See the link below!

Sky gave it to us in replace of our old router that didnt support fibre, because we converted to fibre.

its this thing: Sky Q Hub: Open Source Software i might of got the name wrong

That's the Sky Broadband Hub: it's the successor to the Q Hub.

But is there a way to disable remote management for he web ui using firewall rules or something?

[JimM1]

@JoesMARAGI Remote management is/was suppossed to be turned off / excluded for remote operation and admin for all the sky Hub's and yes there was a switch to allow such, no longer got my SR203 sky Broadband hub connected, as you have yours up go have a look and see where it is, will be in the advanced options somewhere. Are you saying you can get to it via the wan IP address?

@JoesMARAGI 

Remote access should be disabled by default in the factory settings.  Are you actually accessing the Hub externally, or using the public IP from within the local network?

[JoesMARAGI]

public ip from within the network, i should realy try externally shouldnt i?

[JimM1]

@JoesMARAGI Yes you should. And that would also be best served via another network completely seperate! And to the wan IP of the sky Hub! If you need will go unbox and fire up the old hub, but not going to put it online for wan connection!

If it's anywhere would think possibly support tab from memory!

via my phone using mobile data, it is saying: (my IP) took to long to respond.

Yes: doing so within the network isn't a test.

[JimM1]

@JoesMARAGI Honestly do not think you are going to get to it as refused connection would be the norm, on a local lan yes chance it will port through as a secure network connection!

That's correct behaviour: not even an acknowledgement that the IP address has something behind it.
