@eth0 no in its default settings the incoming firewall will block traffic using port 80 on all Sky hubs. Unless thst is  that traffic has been requested by a device on your network. You can set up,a firewall rule forwarding traffic to a specific device if you want to allow external traffic to initiate access.

I believe default remote access is no longer permitted by UK regulations regarding routers.  Port 80 does have to be open, though, otherwise HTTP from someone tes that don't use HTTPS typically won't work.
