ISP's blocking ports, what to do

(1/4) > >>

Hi,

I have been hopping ports the last few days to make my R2500 work.
Every time the connection works, but after a while drops.

I have a suspicion (and I read in forums) that Internet Service Providers are blocking certain ports.
Most of these are related to VOIP devices which they don't allow for "commercial" reasons.
Unfortunately Remoterig is such a device....

I realise this is the fault of those ISP's but is there any way Microbit devices can work around those limitations?
It seems like ISP's are becoming just unwilling to open up ports on request.
For the RRC the SIP port seems  to be the largest problem, as this is giving a "VOIP alarm" to your IPS.

Besides being angry at your internet provider, is there any other trick to consider?
My RRC will work for one(!) session at a given port configuration.
After that I have to reconfigure the whole system and hope for a working port...

Any other port configuration that might remain "undetected" by ISPs?

Also tried that Guy.
It initially slips through but after a while also that port is de-activated...

Then you have a real problem Paul,
maybe check with your isp if they can give an exception

Hi Paul,

just read your other post and the first thing that came in mind was: maybe the ISP is blocking SIP  :(

I don't know what routers you are using on both ends, but do they support VPN? When using VPN for the connection between control and remote site your ISP shouldn't be able to "see" what you are doing.

Even though my ISP is not blocking anything (at least as far as I know) I use VPN also because of security reasons.
