Re: what about private servers?
said by vpnuser:
I know the issue of web servers and comcast has come down to the fact that it's against the TOS, thus don't do it.
What about the realm of private servers, for only me to access? In my case it would be a VNC (search for tightvnc on google). Technically it is a server, but it is a consumer's use of internet - I've never heard of an account suspension because of PC anywhere use, and this is practically equivalent.
Any thoughts?
Servers of any type are "technically" not allowed but it's rarely enforced. Public facing servers that are open to anyone are what they look for, if they look at all. If they found out someone was serving kiddie p0rn or other illegal files they would take action.
The application you are talking about would not raise any eyebrows. It's the amount of upload traffic caused by "servers" that are the problem and it's what will catch the attention of Comcast. |

| If you think about it, any type of file uploading is being a server. Sending email, IMs, files to friends, uploading a webpage to a server or even posting on message boards. If they enforced it, we'd all be busted.
