Port 80 and 443

Hi guys I am trying to setup just a simple caddy rpi to do some simple redirects for my website.

I've opened port 8080 to test and that one seems to work great, so I literally just duplicated the rules and created ones for 80 and 443 as well but for some reason they just arent working.

I've read online that it may be the sky router or possibly sky broadband, so should I fork out the money to get a different router (to fix port 80 and 443) or is there a way around this?

Many thanks

To be clear, is this website hosted on the LAN side of the Sky Hub?

 

An ISP router typically isn't going to permit users messing around with ports 80 and 443 because that would risk block web access from the subscription address, which is fairly obviously somewhat undesirable.
