Verizon FIOS: Port Blocking

[StarsFan4Life]

I just got bumpred up to the FIOS 25/15 package. I would like to starting hosting my personal website at home (just a family photo website) on my local WHS machine (I could on Time Warner just fine), as well as share files (music/videos/pictures) with friends.

My question is, what ports are BLOCKED byt Verizon FIOS and how can I get around them?

I believe they only block traffic over TCP/25.

I do Not know specifically about FIOS, Verizon DSL blocks Port 80.

You can get around ports that are blocked by your ISP by specifying another report.

port 80 is the default port used for a webserver. If your using apache you can change this in the .conf file.

for example port 8000

using your ISP IP address you can type in your web browser

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000

make sure your router is port forwarding to the webserver.

however some ISP do not allow running services like a web server etc in their terms of service. So you may get a call or email if your attracting a lot of traffic.

You can do this with almost all servers (use another port), but that means that only people that knows the alternate port can sort of use the site.

Another solution is to find a DNS service that provides Dynamic DNS with port redirection.

I.e. if you currently use Microsoft Home Server Domain, you need to switch to DynDNS, or similar service.
