ISP blocked ports


Recommended Posts

It seems as though my ISP has blocked a large number (or all) TCP/UDP ports. As a result, I can't run many applications that require open ports (FTP, P2P, etc.). Is there anyway to get around my ISP's port blocks?

go to sygatetech.com

turn off your firewall/router/protections

run the complete TCP and UDP tests

it will tell you which ones get through

remap your apps to use the available ports.

a similar thing happened to me, but eMule (cough cough) I mean PCAnywhere let me change the ports no prob.

of course, this all assumes that your ports can be remapped...

good luck if only mail and web are allowed...then, I agree ditch the nazi ******s and spread the bad word.

I think some ports would be OK for the ISP to block (like TCP 135 for the blaster virus, and TCP 25 to slow down spammers), but I would not be happy if they started to block the majority of ports.

a lot of ISPs will block 21 and 80 to keep you from running an ftp or http server. i know mine does :pinch: but then again, there's that whole 128kbit/s max up thing, so it doesn't matter much :(

But if they blocked port 21 anyway u wouldnt be able to even access FTP servers etc. Same might apply for HTTP.

Ahh no - there is a big difference between outbound and inbound.

Is it within your AUP to run servers?? Is so, have them open these ports for you. If not within your AUP, then live with it - or get another ISP.
