Wow my internet provider, Videotron, blocks pretty much every port needed when self-hosting (80, 443, 25, 445, 1080, etc)..
Someone is about to go see elsewhere!

Any recommendations? I'm from Montréal.

@xaviers Try contacting them first. Usually they block these to protect their customers, as the abovementioned ports are used to send spam and spread cryptominers. If you state that you need those for legitimate reasons and pay them extra for static external IP they might make an exception.

@m0xee They told me that I'll have to switch to their commercial plans, everything is blocked on the residential ones 😅
But yes that's probably why. I heard it's not uncommon. Still never had this issue with the French providers I used, so still getting my mind around this.
