[Airtel AOT5221ZY Router] cannot forward HTTP port because of Remot MGMT.

[shadoww]

Hey, i have just been upgraded to Airtel's AOT5221ZY router from Nokia one and now i really regret doing it.
I am trying to forward port 443 and 80 for my servers but it fails with error: Rule conflict with Remote MGMT setting.
The actual ports are closed but the router is hijacking all of the http requests and it has resulted in all of my services being down.

Is there a way to change Remote MGMT port or somehow bypass this?



Additional details:

Model Name: AOT5221ZY
MAC Address: 6C:4F:89:9D:E5:C0
Firmware Version: AOT5221ZY_R_2.17
Firewall: Disable

@iYuvrajMehta don't upgrade to ZyXEL , its range is shty ! unless they give you the Nokia wifi 6 model stay with the current.

@Kaiju404 That's what I did. Nokia G-2425G-A is the most stable router that airtel offers ig. Everything is just perfect with the router. I have tried every router except the wifi 6 ones that airtel offers and finally settled on this.

@iYuvrajMehta so ur saying before changing ur router u were able to host stuff on port 80/443. coz i'm on the zte router & it's on bridge mode, though i can open any port except 80 & 443 which is giving me really hard time in hosting a reverse proxy.

You cannot forward port 80 and 443 on AOT5221ZY because for some reason it is blocked in webpage frontend side. Hardcode. Take a look at this code. Strange and stupid. I am also stuck with this too restrict and stupid router. Stupid Airtel.
