Salmon Arm, BC | I think that he's referring to blocking incoming ports so that the ISP's customers can't run servers on those particular ports. One ISP that does this is Telus but I know there's more that do as well.

| But then again, Telus provides server friendly accounts for those that want them. I pay $80 a month and can run any server I wish. |

Keeps people from running webservers. If they blocked outbound port 80, well, that would make web surfing a bit difficult.

Outbound? Any provider that implements a forced transparent HTTP proxy does. I suspect that there are quite a few.
Probably many more than will tell you that they are, since it's not an outright "block" per-se, but rather a clever mis-direction. In the end though, they still don't actually allow the routing of TCP/IP packets between your machine and the internet on port 80, because they get hijacked along the way by their proxy. I'm sure that LE is sniffing along too. |
