Thank you both for the rich discussion. As @YrbkMgr mentioned de-selecting LAN Only does indeed work. So for my understanding will deselecting the LAN Only option effect my attack plain ?

@pqRec thanks for the link.

Can either of you point me to a port scanner that you would not hesitate to use ?

netcat on linux if you want to really get into it or angry ip scanner on windows for a pretty interface.

Uncheck LAN access only, and put the external IP address into the list of IP's granted authentication. The web server authentication limits who can access the server, regardless of LAN/WAN origin. I have functionally disabled all WAN access by only allowing addresses on my LAN using +192.168.1.*

Yes. Advanced IP Scanner. Advanced IP Scanner is compliant with Microsoft's highest security standards. The download allows you to install it or run it as a portable app. I use the latter.

As it happens, I just came across this article that might be of interest. Remote access - User & Mobile device permissions
