  1. Why is the WebGUI listening on the external port? If you open a connection to your externalIP and the given Port (4321 in my setup) you get:

    invalid request

    If you enter the externalIP, the given Port and the directory "gui" you can reach the webfrontend. This one is only protected by the given basic authentification, which should only be reachable from the local network. Sure you dont see your shared folders, because its displays only a empty list. But this could potentialy expose your secret share codes?

    You can have more than one http servers in your box, and 80 is the default port number for the service.

    http://yourdomain/ == http://yourdomain:80/

    If you have the second http server, then you need to use different port number, say 8888, to distinguash it from the first one. BTSync has a http server in itself, and it uses port 8888. This is nothing to do with the external accessibility.

    So what you have to do is to close port 8888 at your router / firewall.
