      On the first boot it is possible to assign IP adresses to the interfaces using the console menu.
      If someone select WAN and enter an IP, the message "You can now access the webinterface using http://externalip" is displayed.

      But this is not possible at all (you have to enter a gateway and edit firewall rules to make this possible).

        …not if you're trying to reach that IP from the LAN side.
