Problems with Xfinity / Comcast
I live in the United States, in the state of Florida. I have been using Xfinity / Comcast as my Internet Service Provider (ISP). Over the past few days, Xfinity implemented new security rules that directly effects how home users can set up port forwarding while using an Xfinity router. As a result, my KiwiSDR no longer has a public presence, as they have blocked port 8073. I can still access my Kiwi using a local IP, however.
I just want everyone to know that uses Xfinity / Comcast that you may find that your Kiwi will no longer work for public access.
I'm going to be changing over to a new ISP this weekend myself.

I am not worried about it, as I am going to be changing ISPs this weekend (something that I planned to do a month ago and not because of this issue). I just thought that anyone else who is using Xfinity might want to know what I've found out.
The connection to my_kiwi.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073 is to port 8073 on kiwisdr.com Not port 8073 on your router.
