Hi,

I am interested in understanding which ISPs are blocking which network ports. WHS requires port 80 and 443 for easy remote access to the home server, but there are some ISPs that block these ports. It would be interesting to understand how different users are dealing with the ISP port blocking.

If your ISP blocks ports, could you please share:

  1. ISP provider:
  2. Region (country, state):
  3. Which ports are blocked:
  4. How did you identify/discover the blocked ports?:
  5. If 80 and/or 443 are blocked how are you doing remote access to WHS?:
