[northeast] FIOS and Inbound Port 80

I need to find a way around the inbound port 80 block for residential service. What tools are you guys using - I need to be able to run active sync over the internet for my cell phone.

Re: [northeast] FIOS and Inbound Port 80

You can use a dynamic dns from someone like http://dyndns.org, and just run your server on port 81 instead of 80, then point your browser (or your active sync client/etc) to:

http://yourhost.dyndns.org:81

The easiest solution is to use 443 and get a cert (assuming you are talking about Exchange Activesync). Running Active Sync for Exchange on a non-standard port will leave you reeling in frustration.

I am using it for exchange. Not too sure how I would change the owa to 443? Could you explain that for me? I would assume there is a record in iis that I need to change, but do you know the details? Currently I am using 443 for my firewall I would assume like with any webserver you could run multiple sites off 1 port?

If you only have one public IP, you can only have one server on 443. I would mover the firewall to another port.

The only way around a blocked port is to open it. That means you have to purchase a Business Account. You can't get the port opened on a Residential FIOS Account. If you need port 80, it is only open on their Business Plans.

Well I can now access the owa via mail.domainname.com:443 - this might suffice for now but I cant get my cell to accept anything except the domain name - it just reverts back.

Thanks for the info so far. I was aware about the fios port blocking but there are lots of things you can do to live with it - if you know how.

The "Requires Secure Connection" checkbox on your mobile specifies the client to use port 443/SSL. This is also one of the reasons non-standard ports really don't work well with ActiveSync. Take for example Nokia's Mail For Exchange client. It allows you to enter a non-standard port, but exchange on the back end gets screwed up connecting.

Yeah, I hear ya, I am probably going to go the ssl route. I did find a msft link about creating a virtual server in exchange and then re-direct kb817379

Re: [northeast] FIOS and Inbound Port 80

I was never able to get activesync to work over anything but port 80 and 443. I tried for a bit and then ran out of time. I couldn't find any other real success stories on the net either... one of the reasons I gave up.

As was suggested by deblin See Profile, you can use dyndns.org to redirect your active sync.

However, rather than appending :81 to the URL, dyndns.org offers a service called WebHop:
»www.dyndns.com/support/kb/webhop···ml#ports
which accepts incoming requests on port 80 to a public domain name and redirects them to a non-standard port on your dynamic IP address (e.g. 8080).

You need three things to make this work:
•dyndns.org's WebHop service
•Enable the dyndns.org dynamic IP address updater in the Actiontec.
•Create a Port Forward in the Actiontec for inbound port 8080 to your server's port 80.

Just go to startssl.com and get yourself a free Certificate. Then use secure connections. It will use port 443 which isn't blocked, and it will keep your data more secure in the process.

The issue I had when setting up exchange on my residential fios connection was that VZ blocks incoming port 25. I had to sign up for a mail redirection service that will accept mail on port 25, then forward them on a nonstandard port to my exchange box. I lso use their dynamic dns service as well, which is free as long as they are the registrar of my domain name.

Re: [northeast] FIOS and Inbound Port 80

I am doing the same thing, works like a charm but costs me like 50 a year to keep it running. I fine with it but would be nice to be free too. Quick question, how long are you holding on to your ip?

Re: [northeast] FIOS and Inbound Port 80

Port 25 is open here on my resdintial account. In exchange I use authenticated SMTP outbound to outgoing.verizon.net. No reason to pay for a service in either direction.

My IP has lasted up to 6 months, but recently a lot less due to power issues (planned) that have taken things offline for several hours.

You can generate your own SSL as well via numerous 3rd party tools and through Windows Certificate Authority. The problem is that they are not trusted by a root CA and will likely cause issues on your device with security prompts. This will break synchronization, unless you hack the device's root store to accept the cert.

Microsoft doesn't trust the startssl certs either, so they have to be installed on the devices. Not really a hack, in fact most of the enterprises I have worked for use their own PKI infrastructure. Installing certs on windows mobile is a one click operation.

I too am relaying my outgoing mail through Verizon's mail server, but not because the ports were blocked, but rather because gmail would not accept emails from my dynamic ip address.

I will have to check port 25 incoming here, but I am certain that a couple years ago when I switched to FiOS the port 25 blocking caused a disruption in my mail.

Re: [northeast] FIOS and Inbound Port 80

according to verizon: at least in my area the lease is 24 hours and even when it releases they said Ill prolly get the same IP back anyways .....the only way I wouldnt is if the rare chance that someone else had their lease release at nearly the same instant and grab the IP I HAD lol

so even thought they promised dynamic IP it no way like DSL dynamic IP with DSL you could reboot comp and modem power off and wait 30 secs and get new IP :/

I cant test that anymore they made me send the router and the BIG set top box back when I had them switch me cat5e from ONT to comp....your in PA just call tech support and ask here there number: 888-553-1555

I know what your saying though I can see my IP in my software firewall and it hardly ever changes....its to their advantage to offer dynamic IP for a couple reasons:

1: we ran out of IP's about 2 years ago....so dynamic means we can still all connect
2. They dont have to buy as big a block of IP's if they offer dynamic

I would imagine that in the next year or so the lease times will drastically shorten and we'll get diff IP's more often just like the old DSL days....I've been a verizon customer for 6 years they rolled out DSL the same way...after 2 years they started releasing the IPs faster and even let us buy just internet w/o a credit card which they didnt do in the beginning....same as NOW with the FIOS

Well If you look up you ip and assign it to your equipments outside interface and never reboot your equipment - theoretically shouldnt you have a static ip? Or if your equipment isnt power cycled at the time of the lease experation, wouldn't you retain the dynamic ip until the next time around? So far I have rebooted my equipment here a number of times, put the actiontech in bridge mode, never lost the address. Thoughts?

I think I can handle installing the cert on the phone - no biggie to save a few bucks. I will also try the smathost setup with outbound.verizon.net

Setting your router's WAN interface to static with your current IP will only work until your current DHCP lease expires. If the WAN interface is set to static, it will not request or renew a DHCP lease. When your current DHCP lease expires without being renewed your previously assigned IP address is available to be assigned to someone else.

Since a DHCP client (your router) will normally renew the DHCP lease at 1/2 of the lease time, your lease essentially never expires as long as you keep renewing. If you disconnect your router past the lease expiration, then you may get a different IP address. Also, if VZ reboots their DHCP server (rare) you would get a different IP address.

Re: [northeast] FIOS and Inbound Port 80


DSL was PPPoE. My FIOS is PPPoE, and I can pull a different IP at the drop of a hat. IPs have been stickier on FIOS even with PPPoE, but any router disconnect, and I can get a new one.

DHCP provides a much stickier IP. If your router is always on, it will just renew the lease when the lease is half way through it's time.

That's either defects from the provider or problems with the line, not the technology. I frequently have the same DSL IP/PPP session for 7 to 14 days now and before the change to ATM circuits from the way they were in the old days, my IP/PPP sessions ran 20 to 40 days.

»Over 1 month PPPoE session

I have Verizon DSL here on ATM of course and I've seen my PPPoE sessions last for 2 months many times until the DSLAM reboots and I get a new IP because the modem had to resync. Though of course I've always been on ATM...

You have to use 443. Forward that to your computer running exchange.

Re: [northeast] FIOS and Inbound Port 80

Sorry I wasn't clear. I am not worried about exchane anymore. Exchange are you active sync is working and so is the owa.

I also have a websire running on the same server. I then opened port 8008 in the firewall and forwarded it to the exchange/web server. I can't access the site, the domain host has the correct ip.

From the LAN side it is normal to not have access to any servers when trying the Public IP or the FQDN as only the Private LAN IP should work. Try accessing the server from the WAN using a Web Proxy like www.guardster.com or by having a friend test it.

I hear ya and I am aware about the access from the inside. I have been testing it and guardster says it isnt open. I must not be opening the port correctly. I will try again and see if there is anything I missed. It is a Cisco PIX 501.

My biggest beef is I want to be able to give out the url in normal fashion like www.domian.com plus I have many links out there right now that would need to be updated. Too bad I could point my A record for the domain at something and then have that redirect to my ip:port - know of anything like this?

Re: [northeast] FIOS and Inbound Port 80

you can always use a web forwarder to redirect the request to a specific URL with a port. All of the major DNS hosts provide this.

OR

You could offload the website to a hosting provider.
