After learning here on the list that my ISP, Optimum Online, blocks residential customers from running web servers using port 80, I set up httpd.conf and my firewall to run my site using port 85. It works fine. Next, I registered a domain with my daughter's name: miabrown.com through 1and1.com. I set up the account so that requests for miabrown.com are forwarded to my server (dynamic IP address, port 85).

Apparently, at work, they block sites that use a port number other than 80. In my brower at work, I see the IP address. What do I need to do on my server so that it shows the domain name instead of the IP address?


I've hosted http data over the traditional https port of 443. You can have the server listen for http over port 443, and your work will pass 443 (be it ssl data or not) to you.


This works with SSH, SMTP, POP... I hate it when my *cough* former *cough* employer blocked all that stuff.

Hope that helps

Well, I've already tried another traditional port, 8080, but Optimum Online apparently blocks that one as well. I'll try 443 when I get home. If OO blocks it, it won't matter if my employer does. The funny thing is that I was able to view my site ONCE from work. So whatever they're using to "block" certain sites is unable to do so until AFTER you've already viewed it.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I hope it works.
