Cox Cable blocking port 80?

I don't think they scan the ports. They block the ports.
The cable modem router simply firewalls the port. They don't have to worry
about scanning.

You can use any port other than 80 but definitely should use a port above
1024 for that, although even that limit is getting higher.
