Yes. However, hosting things from your home connection will make it difficult for you to visit many websites. Blocklists such as Datadome, Cloudflare, and F5 will give you endless captchas if they detect port 80 or port 443 open.

I have 443 open and don't have any issues with endless captchas or anything you've mentioned.

Not true for me.

That...is just not how that works. Where'd you get this idea?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

From several years of experiencing it in person. Datadome was the worst and most consistent. It stopped the moment I switched my webserver onto an exotic port number (above 10,000).

Datadome sent me captchas at every domain they firewalled. After correctly solving, I would always be completely blocked:

I can promise you that making HTTP requests to other servers is not triggering a port scan back to you to check what is open. That's kinda crazy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It seems crazy to me too, but I tested it numerous times. Closing port 80 and 443 stopped the blocks, and re-opening them started the blocks again.

Were you maybe connected to a VPN when you made these requests? That's way more likely the culprit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

No. Check my previous comment -- this is about hosting on your home ISP, and turning that on or off directly affected the blocking. There is no way to host a webserver through any commercial VPN service.
