(SOLVED) Is it normal that browsing to my own WAN-IP shows my Omada controller interface? (slrpnk.net)

Hi there, been working on my selfhosted setup a bit lately and just noticed that if I browse to my own WAN-IP it will show to the public the interfance of my oc200 omada hardware controller. While it does have a login form with username password, id be much more confident if this wasnt public at all. I've looked online and in my settings but struggle to find anything related to this. Is it common that this is on be default?

Any pointers greatly appriciated.

Edit: Solved - I panicked without thinking I was on my own lan when checking this..

First off, check that it is also true when using a device outside the LAN. Easiest would be to check with your phone with wifi off. You probably won't get to the login.
If you do then it's time to check firewall settings.

Yeah ur right, i was on my LAN and thats why it worked. I only assumed because I was accessing it via my WAN IP it was 'automatically' public.
