Port forwarding port 80 blocks Internet for everyone else

You may need to use a more advanced router than that one in order to configure it properly. What you want to do could be done, but I don't know that model well enough to say what it is capable of doing.

If you can add DD-WRT or other advanced firmware to your router, it would be able to do it, BUT I can't find any indication your router can use it, so you may be stuck with replacing it or something.

Create a new virtual server entry

I figured... I have indeed tried to find custom firmware for it, and what can I say? Even googling the router's name is a pain, always another shows up (mostly a wireless one, and this model is wired only).

I didn't want to resort to that, but, here I go.... and that did work perfectly.


That's what I had been doing all along, since, I haven't found in this model any "port forwarding". Just, virtual server (and port triggering which has never worked for anything   ).

Who ever came up with the stupid idea to create these routers with build in modems should be sent into space.

separate modem and separate router will almost always give you better results and flexibility.

another option would be to set your D-Link into bridge mode, which should make it a modem, and add a different router. one that can support DD-WRT would be advisable.

check their database before buying.

Sorry if I am off topic here and someone yell at me if I am wrong, I never used no-ip, but isn't no-ip just a DNS name you can type instead of you IP address. But it doesn't really hide the IP address. just makes it more human friendly. All someone needs to do is ping your DNS name and it will resolve to the IP. If you just want to change it back to port 80 so you hide your IP don't bother they can ping that DNS name and get your ip with or without a web server running.
