My Netgear does exactly the same. I guess one answer is to forward port 80 to an IP which is unknown on your lan and direct it to an unused port as well just in case someone actually connects to the lan with that IP. Currently at least assuming you have changed your password for router login from the default no one but you could access it.

I always use the port number required on the no-ip url.

Actually forget what I said!!! I was forgetting you are doing this (I presume) from your own lan and this is a quirk of routers which allow this when accessed from your own lan. If you try it from say a mobile phone on the 4g network (not using wifi) which is truly external to your lan it will not show the router login. Try it to prove it. The only things which should work from anywhere external to your lan are the port numbers you specify.
