Yes, I agree, of course. But this is not an ISP. It is a server hosting service. I pay a monthly fee to have a server, a hosted virtual machine. It is not the same relationship as an ISP that will, by default, block certain ports such as smtp to prevent unwanted relays and such. This is a server, hosted in a datacenter, and would not, likely, be subject to any default port blocking rules. The whole point of that service is to host services. Blocking ports would defeat the purpose. Also, as I mentioned, I have installed two other hosted applications on this server with no issue.
I am not trying to second guess, by any means. I am quite grateful for any assistance or suggestions, I'm simply trying to paint an accurate picture of the environment.
Which port(s) do you suggest I try testing with canyouseeme.org?
I'm happy to perform any and all testing suggested. I would try 7000, but the fact that it does not connect is not surprising as my LAN server does not listen on 7000 either. Granted, telnet can only work with tcp.
