The default "port" that used for hosting a website (including Remote
VirtualBoss) is port 80. Some Internet service providers will block this port in an attempt to convince
you to upgrade to a more expensive Internet connection. If your ISP happens
to block port
80 and you want to be able to access Remote VirtualBoss from the Internet,
you can either upgrade your account with your ISP, or you can configure your
computer to use another
port. Changing ports is explained below. If you have a
Pro or Enterprise Support Plan,
contact our service department and we can
change your ports and fully set up Remote VirtualBoss for you. A Pro Support
Plan is less expensive than upgrading your
Internet connection, and it includes additional services.
If port 80 happens to be blocked, we recommend you configure your computer
to use port 90. This is the standard port we
use if port 80 is blocked. It does not conflict with other services, and we have not found any
ISPs that block this port.
If you need to configure your computer to use port 90, follow the 4 steps
below:
#1 - Change the port being used by your web server software
By default, your web server software is set up to use port 80. You will
need to configure the software if you need to use port 90.
#2 - Make sure your firewall allows activity on port 90
If you use the built-in Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall,
you'll need to configure it to allow port 90 activity.
#3 - Make your domain name include or redirect to port 90
You have one of two options to allow your domain (website) to use port
90:
You can indicate the port to use by adding a :90 to the end of the
web address you type into your browser. If your web address is
http://demo.remotevb.com, and you
configured your computer to use port 90, you would type in
http://demo.remotevb.com:90 as
the address when you want to access Remote VirtualBoss.
Optionally, you can use a redirection service from a
dynamic IP service like www.dynip.com.
They will automatically redirect your domain to use port 90, without any
change to your original web address.
If you have a Pro or Enterprise
Support Plan, we provide this service for free, including full support.
#4 - Configure your router to forward port 90 activity
