Did Verizon recently start blocking port 4125?

This seems to have happened in the last week or so.  4125 is a default port for Windows Home Server and it's used for accessing the server remotely.  I was able to access my WHS from outside of my home last week but this week Shields Up! is showing that this port is now blocked.

I have no idea, but I can tell you something(s) to check.

#1 Be sure that your computer is set to use a static IP that is outside of the DHCP range of the router.

This means, as need be see

#2 Make sure that your computer is on. I know it sounds dumb, but if your computer is off - the port will show up as stealth.

#3 Make sure that UPnP if that exist in your router is turned off.

Thanks for the reply.

Using https instead of http seems to work fine.  Oh well. 🙂
