My router was supplied by Plusnet (firmware V1.0.2.30_53.0.66B1). It has several bugs in the port forwarding function.
First the good news:
- It WILL forward port 80 to port 80 on another server
Now the bugs:
- The User Interface prohibits forwarding any inbound port to other well known ports such as 8080
- The User Interface permits forwarding to unknown ports such as 6080
- but it does not actually forward the traffic from port 80. A connection is permitted to port 80 but there is no traffic on it.
- but port 6080 inbound which should be blocked is now open and forwarded to 6080 on the target server
- but it does not actually forward the traffic from port 80. A connection is permitted to port 80 but there is no traffic on it.
