DaveMan Posted April 26, 2005 CID Share Posted April 26, 2005 I have one question, why is it only sometimes that port 80 (web) is blocked and not always? How can I change it so it is always blocked? I have done tests and sometimes its blocked other times its not, I have a firewal. Thanks ppl, any help would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMan Posted April 26, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 26, 2005 What I was saying is, a hacker still could attack me through port 80. Isnt that possible? sometimes it shows me that its blocked, sometimes its not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a good firewall & antivirus which protects you from network attacks, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmasta Posted April 26, 2005 CID Share Posted April 26, 2005 If you need port 80, why am I hearing on the FIOS forum that Verizon is blocking it? How are they working around it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If verizon is blocking port 80, they must set up their service to go through some kind of proxy server. Other than that, I wouldn't believe it.
