If you have Xbox live, and you need to unblock your ports for multiple Xboxs all TELUS modems/routers support port forwarding as the port/protocol Xbox uses is not blocked.įor remote access to your home pc, try using a VNC program. Any computer that has one of these viruses will immediately infect other computers on the network that do not have the proper security measures in place. A few examples of such worms are: Nachi, MSBlaster and Sasser. The security policy has been implemented to protect the TELUS ADSL network from new type of viruses and worms that propagate themselves through unsecured/unpatched computers. Why has TELUS implemented the HSIA Security Policy? NOTE: TELUS Port Blocking will only affect customers on Dynamic IP packages - customers on Static IP packages will still have access to all Ports.

The purpose of the HSIA Security Policy is to protect the TELUS HSIA (ADSL) network from viruses. See this page for details:Įffective June 2004, TELUS implemented security measures on the High Speed Internet Access network called the HSIA Security Policy, which mainly consists of blocking certain network ports on the ADSL network in an effort to reduce the exploitation of customer PCs, and to reduce the levels of SPAM entering and leaving the ADSL network. IE - port 80 - Webserver - Http protocol is blocked for incoming traffic for all residential clients.

The issue is not so much is port forwarding being blocked, but the actual protocol you are trying to use is blocked. If port forwarding is not available with Telus, which ISP should I change to that has it available?Īs a long time TELUS internet user, I too have encountered these issues. Is port forwarding available with Telus at all today March 8, 2014? If so how and who do I contact to make it happen? Does anyone know for sure today Mawhether Telus is in fact blocking all port forwarding for residential customers? or am I just missing something obvious in the Actiontec settings? Many of the posts in this thread are older. I've been trying many HTTP port numbers other than 80. The idea is to be able to access the data logger and download data remotely when I am not here at home.Įven the though the Actiontec firewall portforwarding interface seems to be working and apparently allowing ports to be forwarded, no ports seem to actually be getting forwarded based on software tools checking for open ports at the router's WAN IP address. I have been working working with my Actiontec V1000H Wireless Gateway Modem trying to port forward an HTTP server in a small data logger I recently purchased.
