Good luck with your ISP allowing traffic on port 80, 443, 110, or 25 though  . | The power consumption was somewhat of a joke :P Although I'm too sleepy to figure out my cost per year for my 500 watt ATX PSU...
Anyways, couldn't you forward a port (like 7500) on your router and just have your server running on that port or something? I know there are those aforementioned ports for FTP, HTTP, etc connections, but can't you technically use other ones? I wrote a very basic web server in Python but I haven't actually really bothered to try accessing it from a remote location. It was just out of curiosity really... |
