 That being said commonly exploited ports (TCP 25 for example) are often
blocked.  This is usually done to block or protect an application though
not to single out a particular port number.

Don't most residential ISPs already block port 25 outbound?

Blocking chargen at the edge doesn't seem to be outside of the realm of
possibilities.
