Out of curiosity, what kind of router do you have? Is it issued by the ISP? To what extent do you have control over its settings? I used to be on Google Fiber, and I would sometimes run into issues where I'd change a setting but would have to wait until the router automatically restarted the necesssary services on its own. I couldn't force it, even with a power cycle. Now that I have my own router running FreshTomato, I can control everything down to the process level if I want.

@jsreed5 Yeah, it's a router issued by the ISP. Now that you mention that, I am pretty sure that's what happened to me... I wanted to get a new router, but I'm not entirely sure how that would work or if there would be any limitations (I will have to do research on this myself). What is FreshTomato?
Looks like I have lots to learn...haha

I've replaced a cockmast cable modem with my own, and on another occasion, removed the verizon spyware router and replaced it with my own (leaving the fiber modem intact)... Generally you can replace the modem or at least hang your own router behind it. In the old days you had to fake the official router's NIC, but I haven't had to do that in a decade or so. Sometimes you have to somehow trigger a reset of your internet connection (using a button on the provider's web interface in your account, or asking the guy in India to reset your connection after playing 20 questions). Other times it just connects and negotiates what it needs by itself.

[SOLVED?] Quite frustrated with an issue I am not really sure how to solve... I have a Yunohost server I had been cruising with for about a month now, and I decided to add in another computer (a regular Debian 13 server) as a part of my setup. I attempted to add it using its local IP and port 80-- but I had port 80 already forwarded on my YunoHost server. I did not know at the time that this isn't something that is possible-- that returned me an error. So I thought, "simple, I just change the...
