So I've been running a web server on port 80 for the past year or so, and one day I noticed it wasn't accessible from the outside (i.e. I could only access it from within my LAN). So I switched apache to use a non standard port, forwarded it on my router and what do you know... it worked fine. I tried using http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and even with port 80 forwarded to a computer on my network, it still says its blocked.
I decided to call Rogers, and the technician on the phone said it was impossible for Rogers to block or filter ports (basically said it was my fault). Now, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure this guy was completely wrong, as I've read many stories of ISP's blocking ports and users having to use non standard ports.
Please tell me this guy did not know what he was talking about?
