Unable to access website URL with port numbers from home wifi
I am trying to access some business websites from my xfinity internet Wi-Fi whose urls end with …xyz.com:32443 and another zyx.com:8380
These requests fail with browser response of “server stopped responding” or “site can’t be reached. xyz.com took too long to respond. Try: Checking the connection
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT”.
NOTE: accessing these URLs works just fine when accessing them from outside my home Wi-Fi network e.g using my smartphone and cellular network with Wi-Fi disabled. Or from a different Wi-Fi network. No issues from non-Xfinity wifi network.
I tried using port forwarding in Advanced settings of the XFI mobile app by choosing my laptop device name, TCP/UDP and the specific port number 32443 or 8380. No change. It still failed.
i also tried restarting the xfi gateway.
Please help me unblock access to these ports. Am I doing port forwarding incorrectly? These websites are from trusted educational businesses and government agencies that others can access from their home Wi-Fi network.
