Has anyone had experience opening ports on a voda 4g business plan?

Was on a personal connection which I had no luck with (assuming CG-NAT was playing havoc with it)

Changed over last week to a business plan as Vodafone support told me that I need a static IP to forward ports which I've done but I still cant seem to open any ports up over the Deco x58 modem they supplied, Looks like all incoming ports are still blocked.

They do advertise it as possible on their site so im a bit stumped.

I contacted support and they said not our issue they dont block anything 😅

Is the public address currently in 100.64.0.0/10 range??

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Nope, it's 218.101.x.x, Ive got a ticket open with Vodafone but that has not come up.

They are telling me it's an issue with my vpn provider. I think they dont understand that im trying to create a vpn

This ones a biiiiit outta depth as I have not had a play with B818 or any of the Decos in THIS exact scenario(this will depend what you have).

If you can show some pictures and also what we're trying to forward can possibly point you in the right direction.

Can also DM me if you don't want to show off the world what you're trying to do.

Hey MaxineN! I actually have both B818 (from my old connection) and the Deco x58 have set up port forwarding on them both with business sim. However when I open a port on wither of the modems the connection seems to be blocked by Vodafone. Eg port checker shows it as closed and I can't connect.

Is there something that needs to be enabled on the Vodafone end? I feel like im still going through NAT?
