Port forwarding 443, 80 and 8123

Any ideas on how to open port 443,8123 and 80 on bell U4000

I basically gave up, I replaced the Modem once already, exact same issue happened. It's on Bells end or whoever does the firmware, whenever it updates, even if it wasn't an actual firmware update ( since it seems the same version numbers ), it just breaks. I bought my own Router and hooked it up to the Bell Modem that basically broke, and now I can do what I want. Works. Had Bell techs mess with their modem before I got the router and nothing worked, they recommended me to pay for their business line or go buy a router and use that as the main device.

( I Use Nginx and Apache/Xampp )

Thank you for the update. You are using PPPoE pass through, then.

No home service in Canada that I am aware off allows incoming connections to ports 25, 80, 443.

So switching to another provider will provide the same results. It's done to help prevent mail and web servers from being breached by third parties.

Any way to solve this issue in 2026 or port 80 and 443 are still being blocked by Bell???

Thanks for your question. The answer is no. Please see the helpful replies below for the reasons. This has been in place for years and is unlikely to change.

Good Day & Welcome.

Bell does not provide access to these ports on a residential account.

 If you wish to unblock ports, then you will need to subscribe to a business account.

With a business account, you have the option to Add-on a static IP. A static IP is $40/mo. on a 3-year term.

Take care.

Port 80 and Port 443 were working fine for me using advanced dmz to my firewwall without issue. In the last 2 weeks it stopped working after my gigahub 2.0 firmware was updated, it now supports bell wireless backup internet etc. Port 80 still works however port 443 is not working. It appears that since the firmware update that port 443 is being blocked or the gigahub itself is listening on the port and taking in the traffic and is not making through to my firewall. I can use PPPoE passthrough but I take a speed hit as the speed drops down to 600 mbps. I did test that it does still work through PPPoE and it does, based on this im certain it is the gigahub 2.0 preventing port 443 from reaching the firewall inbound. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Seems there is currently issues with port forwarding on the hub. It could be a firmware bug, or it could be intentional.

Only Bell would be able to answer that question. But for now, it's not working properly.
