Thanks, that is helpful. My new idea is to make it so the router can only be access through http and not through https. This would allow all traffic through port 80 using https to go to the port forwarded device. However, I'm unsure if there is a way to implement this. I unchecked the box in my router settings that says to always use https to access router, but this still doesn't mean that it is unaccessible through https. Is there a way to do this?
