Hello everyone,
just noticed today, that there's a FW ver.4.13 for Rev.D, which I uploaded into the router too. Captcha is now gone (I read it was flawed anyway), and no option to turn it back on (I'd do anyway).
So I'm looking for the older firmware that I was using for a year or so, which was 4.11. I found it and downgraded to it (actually, this was on another DIR615 rev.D), and guess what? No catpcha in that either!
As far as I remember, I was using 4.11-B04 (but not sure, really), whatever it means, and now I only find 4.11-B02 everywhere.
Is it possible that those FWs with buggy captcha have been removed from FTP servers worldwide?

Was curious if you really need captcha?
Is your router being used by alot of people?
All captcha does is to prevent automated sources from trying to access the router.
In general cases, captcha is not needed and less you really think and find that others are using automation to try to hack into your router.

I don't use it on my routers and consider it a waste of time having to type in additional information to get to somewhere I know other don't need to be or could care less anything about. Most people just want internet access.

ok I've found it, it's -B15. might put it back into the router some time later.
now I have another problem (still with the newest 4.13-B01): discard ping from WAN is disabled, as is remote management. yet, from the lan side, I can ping my wan ip and log in to the web interface.
is this a bug or is it intended to be liek that?

Ping the WAN IP and logging into the router from the LAN side is intended. If it wasn't, how could you manage the router?

i meant i can log in to the router via it's wan ip address, from behind the router, even if remote management is disabled. obviously i can log in to the web interface from the lan via the lan ip of the router...  

example: say, i am at 192.168.0.123, and open "http://143.18.78.2" in a browser (which is my wan ip), i get the log in screen etc., as if i were opening "http://192.168.0.1"

I believe that is probably intended as you are still on the LAN side and accessing the routers, even using the WAN IP address. It could be a loop back or it's being translated on the LAN side back to the router since you are on the LAN side.

Now if you were say, at the office, and on the WAN side of the router, you shouldn't be able to access the router at all using the configuration you set up.
