Re: Telus Blocking Port 80? Find a DNS that allows domain cloaking (zonedit.com), point your domain to the Telus free webhosting and upload a blank page that automatically re-directs to 142.x.x.x:81 (or whatever).

Host your webpage on a port # such as... 60 (if it isnt blocked)
Goto mydomain, register your domain (It's free)
USe stealth forwarding to »myip:60
Thats a way to get around it - I have my webpage running so I can access files when I'm out of town. This works perfectly... no one can even tell I'm forwarding to an IP... unless they look in the source and stuff.
Telus blocking ports... They don't seem to care about bandwidth, so I don't see why they'd do this. Maybe they really are just trying to "Protect" us from virus's, and increase network throughoutput - Would be nice if users could turn this off.
I'd say maybe 5% of telus users, use this port - Some use it to host a webpage... but if they stay within there "b/w limits" I dont see what the problem would be :\ Course they dont monitor... so oh well. Would be nice if telus could unblock it for people who ask, Or have it default on... and put an option in the HSIA network to fix it.
I'm in a smaller area, where this hasn't tooken place yet - Suprises me... Because I am 5 minutes from Vancouver. Maybe they forgot about my town, and wont ever impliment it... Not that I use it much, so it doesn't matter:)
Just hate the fact that we are being "Restricted". I see .Edu people have firewalls and ports being blocked... but to have telus? I don't see a need. Whats next? Block my VOIP line?  Sad thing is.... Only other people is shaw. I'd have to pay for shaw... AND telus, if they ever decided to screw me over like that. Lets have faith tho.... :| |

| perhaps they are tired of having other isp's and upstream providers complain about random worms and such spreading from their network. Anyways, id never want to host off of a dsl line or a cable line, just doesnt make sence to do so.

| my lack of response is for two reasons:
a) i was away on holidays for the last few days.
b) i don't respond to people who are out to troll and flame.
if you have a valid concern, feel free to discuss with me privately and i'll be glad to assist however i can. sitting here taking 'pot shots' as you call them isn't constructive in the slightest.
cheers

| I expressed my valid concerns, you havent bothered to answer, because you dont have the answer.
After 5 days I received a reply from telus telling me that they had blocking INCOMING ports - still no mention of outgoing ports. The phone support continue to lie to the customers, again yesterday they told same thing to another friend of mine.
By the way - since telus only seems to be blocking the ports from going ON and OFF the telus network, I guess Im still vulnerable to receiving the worm traffic from any of the thousands of infected telus adsl subscribers ? |
