On August 21, my Yunohost server, which I keep in my house, started warning we that port 80 was inaccessible from the Internet. None of my sites use port 80, so everything kept working, but I was concerned because I knew that my Let’s Encrypt certificate would fail to automatically renew if I didn’t fix the problem. Canyouseeme.org confirmed that the port was inaccessible. Today, with this evening’s diagnostic report, my server’s warning was gone and Canyouseeme.org confirms that the port is accessible again. I’m pleasantly surprised, but baffled.

Has anyone else run into a similar problem? I am on a residential FiOS connection.

    Sounds like something ISP is doing… residential lines tends to have common ports blocked, it may be a good idea to check your terms of service to verify if they permit running servers on the subscribed service.

      From the TOS:

      You may not knowingly or unknowingly exceed the bandwidth usage limitations that we may establish from time to time for the Services, or knowingly or unknowingly use the Services to host any type of server or commercial network or subnetwork.

      Lol I guess not then! I would think that many customers violate this rule because many consumer products contain some type of server.

        Plenty of multiplayer games need to run a server so you can play with your friends, not always cloud based. Would Verizon require a business class account to host a multiplayer session for Halo on your Xbox?
