What servers and ports can I use with my newsreader?
You may connect to our service using the NNTP server news.usenetserver.com on the following ports, depending on how you would like to connect...
Security | Available Ports |
---|---|
Unencrypted | 20, 23, 25, 119, 3128, 7000, 8000 and 9000 |
SSL | 563, 443 or 8080 |
NOTE:
* The address news.usenetserver.com is NOT a web address; it will not work in a web browser. It is meant to be typed into the settings of your newsreader.
* These settings are for NNTP/Usenet; they do not have anything to do with our VPN addon.
* Unencrypted ports often will give you increased speed; however, communication will be in plaintext.
Other Server Options:
