You might have a gander at howardforums.com and if there are any
workarounds. Those folks try everything.  From what I can tell via a
brief perusal of the threads, proxying with port 8080 is still open in
some areas.  As you can imagine, there's a lot of whining in the
threads, so, the usual "sort the wheat from the chaff" process is
necessary.
