Thanks. The Actiontec GT724WGR will open Port 465 only when using NAT only, it won't open with any of the three levels of firewall. Actiontec support says that this a deliberate design.
Another plus for the older Actiontec GT701WG and GT704WG units! They have 5
levels for the firewall: OFF, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH and CUSTOM. I run mine at
CUSTOM. I've been buying up the ones Qwest used for their DSL service for
years at $10 - $20 each just because they are so flexible.
One thing you might try is to telnet to the router then manually insert a rule
via iptables - I've used that for a couple of odd firewall cases just as a test
and it works here. You'll lose that on a re-boot but I only boot the routers
once in a blue moon anyway.
Can't you add that to the init script?
Quick Google... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22400670-ActionTec-GT724WGR-Mapping-multiple-WAN-IPs-to-my-LAN mentions /etc/init.d/rcS, however re-mounting the fs as read/write seems to lead to a permissions error in that model. Still, there ought to be some way to store that firewall configuration.
