I’m running nextcloud through freenas and can’t figure out how to port forward to allow myself remote access to the server. ---

For Nextcloud, you need the https-port (default: 443), and perhaps port 80 (which is then redirected to https). You need to configure port forwarding on your router. ---

I found my problem 443 is blocked by my isp but 80 is not, is there a way to make the android app use 80? ---

you should still use ssl. You can try a different port like 8443. In your app, you have to specify the port, e.g. [https://example.com:8443/nextcloud](https://example.com:8443/nextcloud) ---
