hi all,
i have local server and i want people to access my server from the internet to communicate with specific application on specific port , the problem is : i setup every thing and i did the port forwarding on my router and when try to access the server the connection is failed and the port appeared to be closed.
i tried the following : i did setup ssh tunneling to use port forwarding through it and all worked fine!
i also tried to use VPN service that provides port forwarding and also worked for me with no problem
you may ask if these methods work, what is the problem? well , using vpn or ssh will impose performance degradation and the response will become slow , and every time power is out or something wrong with internet i have to run some commands to make it work again so it is hard for me to keep it that way.
i was wondering could be my ISP blocking all the ports in the connection? and why would they do that (i know security is an issue, but they should consider these situations)? is it possible that there are some open ports that the ISP allow and i can use them?
my ISP is : T.H GLOBAL VISION
please i need to find a way to solve this issue so guide me through this .
p.s : sorry for my bad English
Regards
