Redirect port 443 to 8443

[domic]

Simple idea: Since Google Chrome in Windows by default is looking for

https://router.asus.com

when typing in the hostname, how do I reconfigure my router (I have Merlin, SSH, and can make JFFS/entware custom scripts/configs if need be) so that any hits on port 443 on the router redirects to the proper 8443 port?

the asus service for port 443 is disabled for because I don't need it on.
What would be the best practice solution in case other users wished to use other ports than 8443?

I usually set the AiCloud 2.0 port to 7443, then set the HTTPS port to 443.

I'm not clear on your current settings or what the problem is, but you can set your router to look for port 8443, then you browse to https://router.asus.com:8443

What do you mean by "look"?

Sorry for the poor grammar. I mean this:

Ok, this is nothing new. Thanks anyway.

Then I guess I don't understand the problem. If your router is set to accept HTTPS on port 8443, just browse to https://router:8443, no redirect needed. I've never heard of a port redirect (for anything).
