Does your router have a backdoor?

ye right, you will not see the port is open in the router settings, my bad. ^^

Just to let you all know that ActionTec Routers have the same issue though it is a different port "4567" it cant be removed from port forwarding list nor is it offered as a blocking rule in your router's firewall. The only way I found around it is to telnet into your router and remove the rule manually from the Iptables. :):

I wouldn't be surprised if it's used by ISP's to push settings into the router or something similar, i doubt it's for NSA snooping lol.

Why would you keep port 3306 open? Bit of an amateurish mistake?

There are many reasons to let ports open. I.e. using your PC to host an own written service that listens the port. Even when a port is open, the hackers need to know whats listening to it and need to find any exploit to the software to attack your PC.

As long as we know what ports are listened by what software, it's our own decision.
MentaL, when there is a hidden port open for the NSA (xD), what software is listening to it, what you think? Any software on the routers itself?

EDIT: What about netstat -a, you will not find it? O.o

Backdoor is not related to the PC, its the router.
