As far as I know there is no way around the isp blocked port 25 email server problem. But there are ways around the blocked port 80 problem. First you need an official registered domain name. Select an official domain name register that has a full feathered web control panel that allows you to change the DNS servers used to direct traffic to your domain name. I use http://www.enom.com/ for my domain name register. Them you need an dynamic ip address to domain name service company that has web redirect service. I use zoneedit. I use the zoneedit web redirect option to redirect public access to my www.domainname.com to www.domainname.com:8080 and then I tell my apache server to listen on port 8080 for web service. Zoneedit has example of using wget program on FreeBSD to get current dynamic IP address and updates zoneedit every time your dynamic ip address changes so zoneedit all ways points your domain name to the ip address you are currently using. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of alden.pierre Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 3:37 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Questions in regards to Domain and port 80 being blocked I have a few questions in requards to registering a domain. 1. My ISP blocks port 80 is there a work around which will allow me to run my own web server? 2. My IP is dynamic will this effect me if I want to run my own email, ftp, or web server? 3. Since my IP is dynamic is there a specific domain register I should be looking into?
