    There are ways around it. Open your ISP-provided router as DMZ.
    Then feed that to a router of your choice were you can control
    the ports.

    If memory serves, he was behing Carrier-Grade NAT - where they give
    the end nodes private IPs. They control the NAT between the public IPs
    and the clients.

    There's a way to configure a tunnel on Cloudflare to make your system
    appear as an endpoint on their network, but I haven't tried that yet.

    That does not work if your router is behind a DS-Lite stack or a CGNAT or any of the other cost-cutting techniques budget ISPs use. You simply don't have an Internet routable IP with those things so people cannot connect to your board from the outside.

    Some budget providers will forward ports for you over their monstruosity of a deployment but don't take that for granted.

    Won't IPV6 solve this issue, in that we will all have routable IP's? I'm really worried about not being able to have a routable IP in the future. Luckily my ISP does offer that.

    Can't even do that or I would have already done so. The only user defined items available on the Nokia "trashcan" router TMobile uses is setting up the 2.4/5 wi-fi configuration. Have heard that even Verizon's router is configurable for anything you want to do. The Nokia is idiot-proof for the lowest
    enomination...
    which isn't either of us.

    The 1 positive thing I have to say about TMobile is when I called their
    call center & reported the modem chip was down...she got a new unit to me
    ithin
    24 hours. Not only that...she called me back at 2:45 AM (because I work swing) after the weekend to make sure everything was working.

    On the other hand...my new TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 router is a configuration dream. Am using that to control stuff after the router.

    Thank you! Read your message the other day & WOW...thought things had returned somewhat to "normal".

    eplace
    him...but saw him/his fiance walking down the street while I was out getting petrol. Honked at both of them...they waved back & he had a smile on his face now.

    Believe you're right. Have heard others with the service that with the way the system is set up...what we would normally do with other ISP's won't happen.

    There's a way to configure a tunnel on Cloudflare to make your system appear as an endpoint on their network, but I haven't tried that yet.

    Looked into 3rd party options of renting server space from this company/others...
    but some companies have the same reputations of bill collectors. In terms of
    my VPN (Nord)...they don't allow port forwarding...while others do. Looking through some of the comments...others are not happy they refuse to allow
    his...
    while other companies will.

    Hmm its been a while since I did data over mobile, a few times I've had no alternative. At said times, I don't think there was any IPV6 available on
    the mobile networks. The devices they were flogging for network connection didn't even support it. If'n I recall right, and I don't always, they were using private Class B network ranges.

    It might have changed, but I expect their business model to be much the same. The expectation it would be used to suck data in, not host services.

    I should have thought of this sooner, wanted to address a reply
    directly to you. T-Mobile does have the ability to provide you with a
    static, publicly addressable IP address for a price - I'm paying $5
    per month per hotspot.

    It might not be available on consumer accounts, but it's worth an ask.

    Sorry if it's been a while if you saw something from me. Was using Bluewave 2.30 for OS/2 (which I had registered in 1996).

    Will see what I can come up with later this week.

    Thanx for the suggestion.

    Interesting info. Is there any inbound port blocking in place, or can you host whatever applications or services you need? Does that include IPv6 as well? (I believe T-mobile's core is all IPv6)

    Won't IPV6 solve this issue, in that we will all have routable IP's? I'm really
    worried about not being able to have a routable IP in the future. Luckily my ISP d
    offer that.



    IPV6 is expected to solve IP shortage. I have a number of issues with IPV6 but afaik
    you are supposed to have all the devices on your LAN Internet routable under IPV6, so
    issues generated by CG-NAT should be gone.

    You're going to need to have an IPV6 to IPV4 gateway for some time,
    I'd expect. Lots of home devices aren't going to support IPV6, so your
    home router could NAT to them.

    I'd sure like being able to give a routeable address to my homelab
    devices and save a lot of proxy and NAT headaches.
