Community Power UserCan you elaborate on what you are trying to do?
I have set up port forwarding on my router and use alternate ports to access my NAS on my home network to avoid issues with those ports.
Have a blog, get a cert via http-01 acme protocol... Does it matter? There is an undocumented limitation that materially alters a product I have a contact for.

Does this mean that you can't port forward port 80 as well or does this mean you're struggling with the permission of the port 80 being a reserved port? I'd like to keep focused on the technical details of this. To this end I haven't pointed out that the type of manipulation done is explicitly performed as part of inspection (as it's occurring at layer 7 and not layer 3) and that Telus has in the past spied on the personal emails of their employees.
To refocus, my goal is to either have the document linked updated or remove the transparent proxy/layer 7 firewall (running on telus routing devices) that is filtering my internet.

Certificates are assigned to domains and the ports used are irrelevant.
It's been quite some time since I setup my NAS. The recommendation was to avoid ports 80/443 as they are often targetted and it's simple enough to use alternate ports.
I believe there may be issues for residential users but there shouldn't be for business accounts.
Note that there is definitely issues testing from inside your network. See this thread:
