You tried the virtual server option in the web interface I guess?

you can try ip-tables, it just hard-codes it directly in to the firewall

vi /tmp/local/sbin/post-firewall

the usual iptables script:
(if you have "iptables -D INPUT -j DROP" and "iptables -A INPUT -j DROP" don't add them again)

#!/bin/sh
# deleting last firewal rules (policy)
iptables -D INPUT -j DROP

# Standard open ports
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 51413 -j ACCEPT #opens up tcp port 51413

# Restablishing INPUT chain policy
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP

ofc, if you never enterd any code make it executable:

chmod +x /tmp/local/sbin/post-firewall

and save + reboot:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

done

Oh rlea?
I just tried with the best scanner online:

Scanning ports on 90.194.116.132

90.194.116.132 is responding on port 51413 ().

works great!
try this: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scanner/

anyway, you shouldn't portscan it from your local network, that just doesn't work
