I'm trying to set up access for Ken to connect to one of my cameras so he can help troubleshoot something. I have set the port forwarding for port 80 and I was able to successfully the port forwarding is working via a website that checks for that. The problem is that when I try to use the WAN IP:80 I get a message that says connection to / is forbidden.

Obviously this setup would only be temporary while Ken is troubleshooting but I need it to work for him. Any suggestions, Thanks!

You need to use a different port...80 is going to your router...leave the camera as is, simply set a different external port going to port 80 on your cam..
Also remember to forward the rtsp port as well...

Thanks @fenderman... so just pick any port number? Will this work?
