Sentech blocking port 80?

[Turtle]

Anyone know if there is a possibility ST are blocking port 80? I run an EXTREMELY low usage Apache webserver off my machine for just for a little internal use for my business, and it recently started giving:

"Forbidden
You were denied access because:
Access denied by access control list."

when viewed from the outside world. After double-checking all my settings (firewall, port forwarding, Apache conf etc.) I realised that those port 80 hits are not even showing up in my firewall logs AT ALL, in other words the requests don't seem to even reach my PC. So I changed the listen port from 80 to something else and now it works again. This seems to imply inbound port 80 is blocked. Anyone else have the same problem?

Port 80 is blocked as all port 80 traffic is proxied on Sentech's side
I had the same problem (needed to access something on port 80, not web though). Eventually gave up and used another port.

oh and don't bother support with it, they do not understand it nor will be able to change anything anyway.

I don't seem to have a problem with it, mine's working fine.

Just to clarify, I meant *inbound* port 80 (i.e. running a webserver on my machine), which should not be affected by the transparent proxy at all, which only grabs outbound Web traffic.

It used to work, and they've had the transparent proxy all along.

Hmm .. then I guess the problem might be on my side then. Strange .. I'll check all my settings again :/ Thanks.

Go here https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

press Proceed and at the bottom, the next page there are buttons to check all ports or specific ones - mine now always fails port 80, whereas two weeks ago it was stealth.

I've stated in another thread that Sentech does indeed do reverse proxying. That's where they proxy incoming web calls. Their idea behind this was probably to make the sites hosted here "look" faster or to save backbone bandwidth....

I checked with www.qrc.com and shows blocked.
I checked with sygate and shows blocked.

I try to log in to my website on port 80...and guess what i can get in.

So no they are not blocking port 80.

Iif I go there it shows my port 80 is open, which is correct as I'm running apache, so they're not blocking it.

Dunno about port 80, but the shaping on POP3 traffic is so aggressive today that it's impossible to get any mail from a UK server.

MW, makes proton decay look fast.

Im finding that today the best I can get with emule is 1Kb/s, usually I get up to 6Kb/s

Getting 25Kb/s on regular multithread downloads

They are doing something

But changing ports doesnt help

Definitely shaping port 80, but not blocking it. In fact, I cant get both 80 & 81 from the outside - running a little photo album but damn it slow...might as well send my memory stick with die Poskantoor

I'v got apache set up and waiting to go online, just gotta get the modem working on my linux box and hopefully i won't have any port 80 issues..
