| Port Forwarding I'm considering a switch to Knology but I need to know first if Knology allows port forwarding so that I can still access my IP-based home security cameras while traveling. I can't get an answer from them since I'm not a customer. Does anyone use port forwarding with Knology to access internal devices or servers from outside you home network?
Thanks,
Mike |

kudos:1 | Knology does some port blocking but nothing that should affect your IP cameras. It would help if we knew what ports they use. |

The port number for the cameras are configurable, such that the URL for one of them would be »cable_modem_ip_address:xxx. |

Just set the ports in the high range and you should be fine.
Most of the blocking knology does is for old worms and windows file sharing which was a big problem in the past. |

I have 6 boxes on my network, 4 unix running vps's some are running regular daemons such as FTP, SSH, Httpd, vnc, domain, imap/pop, smtp, etc.. Pretty wide range of ports from 21 - 400's so I don't think you will have any issues. Like Big said keep the ports high as to not alert knologys scanners. I've picked them up with snort just monitoring the network.  |

I run multiple VPS's on my knology home line. I've never had any problems with 21 - 80. ftp, ssh, domain, imap, pop, smtp, httpd, all run flawlessly. I have 6 computers on the network, 4 linux and running active daemons. Never been blocked. |
