You don't explain your problem and what you want to do clearly, so it's impossible to give any specific advice. But assuming you want to contribute to the network by accepting incoming connection, you could configure Bitcoin Core to use SOCKS5 proxy or redirect Bitcoin Core traffic to VPN tunnel which accept port forwarding.

Either way, more information is needed. Just port 80 open is very odd, most home internet providers block inbound port 80 and others so people cannot run their own webservers. Outbound they obviously are not blocking other ports or the OP could not post.

OP stated he have a server and mentioned domain usage as example, so it's unlikely he use home ISP.

So after months and months of nothing but bounty posts the OP comes in and asks an oddball question. Are they looking for real advice or just looking to get a merit or 2 to rank up as some people try. Hmmmm something to think about.

I was hoping to find out if there was a way to connect to the bitcoin network when you are in a network with only port 80 open.

If your outbound connections aren't so strongly limited, then you should be fine. Bitcoin server can work good enough even if other peers cannot connect to it. It will initiate connections and "stay in the business".

And even if you want peers to be able to connect to your node inside your lan, there's usually the option of setting up port forewarding on your router.... unless the OP isn't on a network he/she can manage (but, for example, on a corporate network)? @OP: could you tell us what you want to achieve and wether or not you're on a home network you can manage, or a network that's managed by somebody else?

What issues do you have to connect to your peers if only your port 80 is open? You should still be able to establish outgoing connections unless something is actively blocking connections to your peers.

If you want peers to connect to you, then you can specify a non-standard port without any webservers.

Hello, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this.

I was hoping to find out if there was a way to connect to the bitcoin network when you are in a network with only port 80 open.

I have a server in the open world, so I thought that maybe I could set up an apache config that would redirect some calls to bitcoin.myserver.com:80 to something else.

Or could there be any other solution to this ?
