443 not forwarding 384.19->386.1 Dirty Update

[jaaem]

After a dirty upgrade, port forwarding on 443 no longer works for me from outside the network. Other ports work fine. I don't run AI Cloud, but changed the port just in case. The port-forward tables look ok. It will work again without any setting changes with a dirty revert back to 384.19. However, reverting messes up the router password (seems the never version hashes the password). Luckily I could still ssh in with the saved key and reset manually with the commands below. I have done this upgrade->revert process twice, with the same results.

nvram set http_passwd="mypassword"
nvram commit
reboot

I can try a clean upgrade, but want to make sure nothing else is the issue. Thanks for any help

As the release notes tells you, be prepared to do a reset if things don't work right. I went from 384.19 to 386.1 and things seemed to work for a while. Then I just did a hard factory reset and configured manually. Forwarding port 443 works for me as well as everything else I need to have working.
The best planned mission goes to pot after the first shot is fired...

Thanks. Factory resetted and now 443 works.
