How to open ports like 80,53 and 443 in Airtel Broadband?

Hey!
I recently got Airtel vFibre 24mbps connection in Chandigarh (switched from BSNL). The airtel guy installed a Binatone modem that I converted into bridge mode (tagged Vlan ID 100) and connected to Netgear router running latest Lede firmware that performs the PPPOE dial.
Internet is working nicely. Speed is as stated. However I'm facing issue while accessing ports from WAN through port forwarding.
I have a NAS running various web servers for personal use (home assistant, node red etc) that i have exposed to internet. High numbered ports are working fine from WAN (8123, 9000 etc) but port 80 and 443 are not working.
Can you guys confirm if port 80 and 443 are blocked by Airtel for incoming connections to stop people from running web servers?
Or is there some issue with configuration of binatone modem or netgear router?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but I'm using DDNS service from Dyn which serves my purpose of home use. Static ip won't be of use if I can't forward port 80 or 443

Fixed it myself. Apparently it is important to turn off the WLAN of the binatone router. Otherwise the modem will block incoming 80, 443 even though the PPPOE dial was made by router. Ideally, it should be forwarding complete traffic to the WAN port of router.
I had to observe the firewall logs to understand this.

Sorry for super late response. As it turns out, I've not been able to fix this issue as Airtel is indeed blocking 80 and 443 in my area on VSDL. (NAT Loopback had me believe that the issue is fixed but it was not)
Since my website is a private network storage and not for public use, I've changed to 8443 port.
If you have taken a static IP and port 80/443 are absolutely necessary, I recommend calling their customer support as you cannot unblock it on your own. The block is enforced from ISP.

Even I have a static IP, but still my ports are blocked and Airtel is not accepting that the ports are blocked. I had to trigger port forwarding for my ip cameras to work. Have you tried port forwarding?

Hello,
I have recent bought Airtel V fibre ,
Now I need to open the ports .I know it's blocked by ISP ,I have even done port forwarding .How do I need to proceed ?
I have heard that Airtel has to be Rs. 99 extra for static IP ,will it open the ports to host a web server.
I am using DDNS from no IP ?

Can somebody clear my doubt ?

This is interesting.
Does it mean, I can run a webserver in my machine (PC/laptop) which will internet connection from hotspot of my mobile in which airtel sim is present and I can use the static address to access my website from outside?
If this happens, then it is awesome.
anyone, could please help if such feature is present. paying 100 Rs per month for such support is quiet affordable.

i can't really say. i had static ip for a few years. got it for cctv. dumped it when i realized that ezviz didn't even need static ip and i was wasting money on static ip. but while i had it, i was able to access the cctv webui over the internet. and my friend was able to connect to my router remotely to configure it. it was also able to ssh into my pi remotely to help me with some stuff i needed help with.
