Port 80 open: ISP's

**WileECyte** · 04-06-11, 01:49 PM

For me, my internet is my lifeline. I telework 3 days a week and NEED internet service. What I do is have a locally hosted webserver for development (accessible only from my LAN) and then I move my code out to my web host when it's ready for prime time.

Yes i do want to run a web server without a port redirect, and i'll have to look into my ISP's AUP to see if im screwing my self up. But i heard from some people that there is a few ISP's out there that with a standard high speed internet service, they have port 80 open to them and they can set up a web server.

There are no ISP's that i know of that do that... At least anymore. I had Cox a few years ago and they let it slide for a while.... Eventually they shut me and everyone else down.

What you could do though is find a friend who has a server... Have them host your site link. with the dns records pointing to them.. have them forward all your traffic to you over a high number port and you should be good that way... Port forwarding/translation would still happen but its a little more transparent to the users. It's the same concept of a dmz but a little more complex.. and no firewalls required

I would have a friend host a site for me now if i knew somebody who has one. I currently have my own server at my fathers house and i am apparently breaking Cox's AUP by host game servers and VOiP servers. Now i do know how to go around the port 80 situation, but i do wish to get rid of the :XXXX at the end of the url, and do so with out buying a business class service because i dont need that much bandwidth yet. All i would need is port 80 open.

Host up the website at port 80. let me know when you have it up ... Give me the web address ip and cidr ill run a scan and tell you if you can get around their port 80 nonsense without using :xxxx

Ill try, but just an FYI i been working on this for a week and a :xxxx is the only working solution yet. Hit me up on xfire or steam for the url and quick chat.

Just curious... what games are you hosting from your home?

Currently i am hosting CoD1, CoD:UO, Gmod and i just took off CoD4. I also host a vent and TS server, but more vent than TS.

This is the server right here
YouTube - Herp Derp Server Update

I've added on two router lines that go to a lan hub in that room. And the server has two lan lines with separate ips that go to the hub so i can host off two different local lines but one outside ip. Very effective.
