all of my ports have been inexplicably blocked for the past 5 years

[Kearn]

and we haven't been able to fix it

it isn't our router because we connected a computer directly to the modem with no change

we made our modem as insecure as possible with no change

we disabled firewalls and antivirus programs and no change

why the hell is it doing this

i dont think my ISP is blocking every port known to man

My ISP does this too, somehow it constantly changes the open TCP port to some random number between 100 and 48000.
Basically, you need to buy a 'server' package from your ISP in order for the port to stay where it is.
