I had the ISP problem as well, are you sure they scan all ports? They might just be scanning common HTTP ports such as 80, 88, 8080, 8888, etc. I would pick so

I had the ISP problem as well, are you sure they scan all ports? They might just be scanning common HTTP ports such as 80, 88, 8080, 8888, etc. I would pick some random port to host a web server and setup a load balancer on linode using nginx or pound and point it to your home server, that way your visitors don't have to see funky ports in their URL Home Server (IP: 1.1.1.1) Web server running on port 25399 Linode Server (IP: 2.2.2.2) Nginx running on port 80 `-> HTTP requests for host x.com `-> use 1.1.1.1:25399 as backend x.com DNS A record points to 2.2.2.2
