Has this been your experience? Even the worst ISPs I've had never cared about the volume of upload. I also self hosted a blog for a couple of years and never received any warnings. Obviously there could be a problem beyond a certain large scale, but it's wildly unlikely an ISP is going to notice or care about someone's little blog.
- hk1337 4y agoTechnically, it’s true. AT&T supposedly blocks port 80 although I don’t think that’s the case for fiber but I would imagine if you’re doing more than just a personal blog site and using way more than a residential customer would use, you’ll attract some attention.
- ocdtrekkie 4y agoMy old ISP explicitly prohibited using well-known ports which was annoying because switching ports at the CDN layer isn't free or cheap. My new ISP does prohibit operating as a server for more than personal use at home, or something to that effect. I predominantly use my Sandstorm server for personal access and content, and since Cloudflare is CDNing the crud out of any public content I host, it should be negligible or unnoticeable, unless I host content that gets me in legal trouble enough for Cloudflare to out the real source.
