You can't.

This is why you don't go with huge big ISP's.
That just depends on the country, because we're still pretty much fine here.Quote:

They cannot block ALL of your ports. It simply is not possible.Quote:

Most ISP's, at least major ones cap you like no tomorrow here in the UK. It's actually funny, we do have unlimited bandwidth however if you download more than let's say 1 gb in one go. Your connection will get shaped for about 6 hours to less than 80% of the speed. Technically, it's not "unlimited" that's a marketing term. The ISP I'm with is the only semi-big one in the UK that doesn't cap - but I pay the price but trust me it's worth it.Quote:

well they blocked all my flyff ones my port 80 is blocked so is port 15400 and like 3 others for some reason
No, that is not possible.Quote:

the webserver is at port 80, but the browser can use any port to connect to a websites port 80
for example right now firefox on my pc is using the port 22226 to connect to ragezone on port 80
my port 80 has nothing to do with the connection yet I'm connected to a port 80
the thing is, blocking the 80th port prevents the user from hosting a webserver, but not from connecting to web servers
But it is the default port, and as such no ISP would ever block it, unless they were cutting you off for breaching their fair-use policy.Quote:
