I have been told that if Telus holds the MX record for your email
server, that they will not block the port

Over the last month I have been noticing slow but sure degradation of
my internet service. I have two Linux boxe hosted outside of my home.
They are SMTP servers so they use port 25 and strangely enough one day
I noticed that I could not get into it from home. The connection
always timed out. I thought it was down, I thought my firewall on the
other side was messed, but whenever I tried to connect to it from non
Telus ISP it worked. I thought coincidence, something must be wrong
with my firewall and I kept digging (and putting the problem off until
I had more ideas). Today I was trying to setup some temporary web
server and mail server at home. Punching NAT forwarding in my Monowall
router did not work, I tried it left and right, up and down … no luck.
I tcpdumped the thing until it could not dump no more. I upgraded
everything I could.. I reset everything I could. And then it finally
clicked in: “It’s as if there is a firewall on the Telus network” and
then I though to my self … “Firewall on an ISP? No? It could not be …
That is just …. well …. retarded!!” I actually gave up on this idea of
a firewall were it not for some angel who somehow googled me into this

Finally proof of the impossible.
You guys probably already know all this “news”. But as you can imagine
I’m in shock :`-( …
I feel as if Telus cut of my right testicle.
My lucky ports are gone:
25
80
110
And those are the only ones that I do know about, I can’t even begin
to imagine what else they are blocking that I don’t even know.
So what do I do now? What did you guys do?
I was thinking of VPNing my whole infrastructure and keep it out of
Telus’s dirty hands but I’m so so afraid that they will block the VPN
too … they got me … :`-(
… ooh shit … I just had a bad though … my SSH? Will that be gone too?
I feel like I’m at my high school computer lab … everything blocked
off … it’s making me claustrophobic.
Ok I’m going crazy here … better stop :-P LOL

You don’t realize how much you love something until it’s taken away
from you … slowly .. you adapt … you think that it is all in your head
… you adapt some more and next you realize that it is all gone. It’s
like some drama/horror movie.
Ahh … very therapeutic LOL … :-P… tommorow’s therapy will involve a
telephone call to Telus on this topic
Sorry for all this venting … and thanks for not blocking my email (or
we don’t know yet, until I hit the send button)
Tomas
