    just really looking for feedback on the ports we used when giving out c line etc


    as more and more posts i read are saying problems with isp`s and ports


    talk talk having problems on 12000 last week
    *** BB has been reported now a problem on cs and has been reported back as port 7000 used


    i just checked this site:


    List of TCP and UDP port numbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    Code
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers


    in fact 7000 is a bad port to use? as its listed as a bit torrent port, meaning a ISP could think you are downloading files 24/7


    12000 is not even listed as a port


    i myself is thinking to move to a port a anti virus or firewall software would use, so it looks like traffic via updates....



    what are your thoughts?

    My opinion..


    Internetproviders shouln't check your ports. Its breaking your privacy..
    Also, there aren't any "bad" ports.. A port is a port.. But some are generally used for other protocols..
    Therefore, i wouldn't use ports like 80 (http), 443 (https), 110 (pop3), 25 (smtp), 143 (imap) etc.


    Also.. Virusses and hackers will scan the internet continously for open ports to inject malicious code.


    Therefore.. I advise to use high numbers, like 53893, because these won't be included in standard scans.

    well you must not keep up to date mate on the news as was reported years ago that blueyonder used to watch ports as the default ports for limewire ect was reported to be watched


    just think could be something to try, see if any better

    I think it depends on where you live (me=dutch), and which provider you use..
    Here in Holland, privacy is a big thing (supported by law).


    For a provider, to check what traffic travels through a port, 'deep packet inspection' is required
    For me.. this would be something where i would kiss my provider goodbye for :-)


    We need 'Open Internet'.. But it could be that you live in an area where traffic is monitored by law.. (like e.g. China).
