I think you will find this has nothing to do with the firewall. The router
will forward incoming requests from the WAN interface to the webserver, as
you have set it. The port forwarding applies to the WAN interface.

IE, if you put yourself on the otherside of the firewall, you are still on
the LAN interface, and will still hit the router's admin page.
