https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Cannot-use-port-21/m-p/4876454#M456914 <P>I have moved from BT to Sky and can now no longer connect to a specific IP using port 21 unless I go via&nbsp; a VPN and everything then works as expected. I have disabled the router firewalls and I have also disabled Broadband Shield but cannot make the connection until I go through a VPN. It seems to me that somehow the SKY router is dropping my connection.</P><P>Any Thoughts?</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 09 Jan 2025 15:34:05 GMT BigChiv 2025-01-09T15:34:05Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Cannot-use-port-21/m-p/4876454#M456914 <P>I have moved from BT to Sky and can now no longer connect to a specific IP using port 21 unless I go via&nbsp; a VPN and everything then works as expected.
