Anyone running into issues with stuff we sell with Cox blocking ports? We never had issues in the past and we've come across problems with solar monitoring equipment and attempting to remote in with Domotz-equipped pieces this week.

These are two separate jobs in a week and I'm thinking we'll probably see lots more issues if this continues. This happening anywhere else?

Thanks

Did you open the ports and find that they're no longer open? Maybe they pushed updates that caused the routers to revert to original config.

exactly what ports do you think they are blocking? Domotz should be creating an outbound VPN connection for you to loop back into. If cox is blocking ports, Domotz should not be effected.

80, 443 and a few others. They have them listed on their site but I can't see some others that they don't have listed (ex: 443) when I use canyouseeme with my Cox service.

Tried using Domotz the other day and I could get into the router off-site via Port 80 but when I tried to do a firmware update, I got an error message 20 seconds later or so that said something along the lines of "port blocking...".

We've run into this 2X in a week and have never had issues before so I was wondering if they just started blocking these ports in our area.

Port 80 is used by hackers and from the time I started sales/setup of DVRs, it was recommended that I change that port to something else, like 8245. Maybe that would help.
