Blocked Ports

[news]

After being re-directed 5 times between tech support plus agents (you guys are halarious) thought I would post here.

Real Simple;

Opened a port on my Actiontec T1200h so I can connect to my LAN remotely via VPN. Port shows its closed though it's properly configured.

Is a business plan required to open ports? And use a VPN? Are All ports blocked with a consumer (dynamic IP) plan? Think that might be it, so if you can confirm then mystery solved.

Read a lotta article about Telus pulling corporate bull**bleep** about the topic.

So to summarize, should I be able to connect to my LAN remotely via windows VPN without business plan? If so, any idea why the port won't open?

Thanks
