Probs with port 80 for remote streaming

[Alan Pee]

I am trying to access my duo over the internet for streaming but it seems my isp blocks port 80 as am getting connection timed out for port 80 when I test. Port 8001, 8002 are fine. Can I substitute 80 with another port if so what port no. do I choose and how do I configure it both on my router and pc.

I finally got it to work. I just did a full reset of my router, reconfigured it and then forwarded port 80, 8001 and 8002 to duo2 ip address. With my dyndns address I was able to access and stream outside my network. It worked smoothly both on SD and HD channels with dreamdroid + VPlayer but had some stutter on vuplus player. My transcoding config is: Bitrate - 1.5mbits, Framerate: 25 fps on VIX Image.

I would never leave Port 80 open as you leave yourself open for attack by anyone using bots for open ports

What other way can I access my box and stream plse. If leaving port 80 open is dangerous. Can you help plse.

What you should do in the router is open a different port say just as an example port 7100 and then translate that to port 80, That is if your router settings allow this most do
