Reminds me of the only quote I ever got onto bash.org:
<Ich> Why are you hosting on port 666?
<Texasdex> just for the hell of it
Port 666 was the first one that came to mind (I now use 1234 so I can
send it to relatives) but the real reason I was using such a weird port
is because Verizon always blocked incoming port 80. Not 443, so if you
have a decent cert you can sort of but not quite get around it, but it's
just been a pain. From what I vaguely remember reading when I first
tried to bypass it, they started doing this ages ago when Code Red was
spreading, and conveniently haven't stopped.
