The MyBook Live allows remote access the the hard drive via the WD 2go iOS app. One thing I don't like about it is that it pokes a whole via UPnP on my firewall for ports 80 and 443. And unfortunately on dd-wrt, UPnP port forwarding takes precedence over any other rules on the FORWARD chain.
So, I manually added a rule via Administration->Commands (Save Firewall) in dd-wrt:
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i `get_wanface` -m multiport --dport 80,443 -j DROP
"iptables -L" doesn't show prerouting rules. Instead, do: "iptables -L -t nat".
Since the MyBook Live runs Linux internally, there might be a way to change the ports through some manual unsupported mechanism, but haven't had a chance to check. Hopefully Western Digital creates a firmware update that allows the port to be changed via a supported mechanism in the web UI.
