i’m pretty sure if you just go up their and ask them to be opened we will get a firm no. If we go up their to discuss reasons why it should be opened, and reason with them its actually might be a possibility.
All you need to know is whether or not it was blocking for a specific reason. If there aren’t any known threats with the ports they can, and usually do, reopen them upon request and proof of need. I’ve had about 16 ports opened over the last two years by doing nothing more than asking.
