Port Alternatives for Caddy - kazdume - 2025-06-08
Hi! I was trying to setup remote access for my Jellyfin server with caddy and duckdns. I looked at tailscale but I want to be able to stream remotely on Roku devices and tvs which wouldn’t work with tailscale. I was in the process of setting up caddy when port fowarding to port 80 and 443 didn’t work. I messaged my ISP (astound) who informed me that 80 and 443 are blocked and can’t be unblocked (their website also confirmed they blocked the ports). I am now not sure what to do. Tailscale wouldn’t work and I can’t port foward to 80 or 443. Would using a different port for Caddy work? If so, how would I do that?Are there other options that allow remote access to devices where a VPN cannot be activated?

You can use other ports, but you need to specify the por on URL when typing on client (ex: domain.tld:8080)
Or you can use tailscale funnel, the client doesn't require to use tailscale app
https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/funnel
Alternative to tailscale funnel you can use cloudflare tunnel

I had this issue a while back when I needed to use a different port. I found Nginx Proxy Manager worked for me.
