We block ports on VPS hosting for security reasons.
- Ports that are blocked by default on unmanaged VPS:
- SMTP Port (25)
SMTP Port is blocked permanently on entry-level VPS plans, however, for higher plans, we can make exceptions. Please contact sales for eligibility.
To send emails from your VPS, we recommend using a dedicated email deliverability platform (e.g., Sendgrid or Mailgun) for better deliverability and IP reputation handling.
- Ports that are permanently blocked on all plans and the block can't be lifted.
- TCP/UDP Port 17
- TCP/UDP Port 19
- TCP/UDP Port 1900
- TCP/UDP Port 54313
- TCP/UDP Port 11211
