Subject: complicated router question....
If they are blocking things like web traffic, they might only be blocking
the incoming port 80. If so, you should be able to just move the web server
onto a different port, say 1999 and then all you would have to do is goto
http://your_ip_or_domain.com:1999/ and that pop up any website you have.

More than likely they arent blocking anything though. You could probably
get away with just running a web server as long as it never becomes high
traffic.
