This post, and other recent ones like it, indicate to me the importance of running a port scan and making sure no management abilities are exposed over the WAN side of these devices. Any suggestions on good, fast online port scanners?

In addition to management, a bunch of these can serve up files to the WAN side. On Netgear devices it is in a USB storage section.

I do scans from cellular devices (Fing on Android and iOS, is passable for popular ports) and my laptop (nmap) when out and about.

http://portscan.me/ will execute an nmap scan on the request address and print it back. Even works fine with curl.

There's one at http://viewdns.info/ if you're only after common ports.
