🔓 Does EDIS Global block or restrict ports?

EDIS Global does not generally block, filter, or restrict incoming or outgoing TCP/UDP ports on VPS services. Your VPS is connected directly to the network through a virtual Ethernet interface and bridge. There is no general provider-side firewall or NAT layer, so EDIS Global staff do not need to open ports manually. If you need to use a specific port such as:
  • 1080
  • 8080
  • 443
  • 25565
  • 3389
  • 51820
or any other TCP/UDP port, configure your software or operating system to listen on that port.
Exception: outbound TCP Port 25 (SMTP). VPS instances created on or after February 24, 2025 have a default outbound rate limit of 8 packets per second, with an initial burst of up to 16 packets. Inbound TCP Port 25 is unrestricted. Anti-spam enforcement may also block outbound Port 25 for an entire VPS. See our Port 25 SMTP policy and rate limits.

​
⚙️ What do you need to do?

You manage port accessibility entirely inside your VPS operating system. Typical requirements include:
  • Configuring your application to bind to the desired port
  • Ensuring your software is actively listening on the port
  • Allowing the port in your operating system firewall
  • Verifying that the service is running correctly
Examples:
  • Configure Nginx or Apache to listen on port 443
  • Configure a SOCKS proxy on port 1080
  • Configure WireGuard on port 51820
  • Configure Remote Desktop on port 3389
For ports other than the outbound Port 25 exception described above, no action from EDIS Global is required.

​
🛡️ Operating system firewalls

Some operating systems enable local firewalls by default. Examples:

​
Linux

  • ufw
  • iptables
  • nftables
  • firewalld

​
Windows

  • Windows Defender Firewall
You may need to allow the desired port locally inside the VPS.

​
🌍 Government or ISP restrictions

EDIS Global has no control over restrictions imposed by:
  • Governments
  • National regulators
  • ISPs
  • Mobile carriers
  • Corporate firewalls
In some countries or networks, specific ports, protocols, or IP ranges may be filtered or blocked externally. Such restrictions occur outside of EDIS Global infrastructure. EDIS Global cannot modify or bypass them.

🔎 How to verify if a port is listening

​
Linux

Check listening ports:
or:

​
Windows

​
🧪 Testing connectivity

You can test whether a service is reachable using tools such as:
  • telnet
  • nc (netcat)
  • curl
  • external port checkers
  • another VPS/server

📌 Important note

EDIS Global provides infrastructure-level connectivity only. You manage application setup, proxy configuration, firewall management, and software troubleshooting inside the VPS. All network use remains subject to our Acceptable Use Policy.
