While this is a valid point. I assume you are probably violating the ToS laid out by your ISP. In general a "home" or "personal" account is not allowed to run a webserver. There is usually strict language in the ToS regarding this.

Can anybody comment on whether or not this any different with Google Fiber? Are they fine with you running whatever you want on that connection?




"Unless you have a written agreement with Google Fiber permitting you do so, you should not host any type of server using your Google Fiber connection"

(Whether they will enforce this remains to be seen.)


I am not talking about hosting the web server locally, and I don't for my setup. In my opinion however ToS that prohibit running local web servers are an outrage. The ISP should be a dumb pipe, and this betrays the spirit of net neutrality.
