Hi, what IP address is your USG getting, if its in 100.64.0.0/10 then its on CG-NAT, note this is the IP on the DHCP or pppoe interface of the USG, not the reported IP address as seen outside.

@ruch33 Protip - even if SSH is on another port it'll still get brute forced (check your auth log and I bet you'll find thousands of brute-force attempts) - enforcing SSH Keys and disabling password auth as well as enabling fail2ban is the only way to go if you want to expose this to the internet. I ultimately recommend setting up Wireguard VPN for this - check out PiVPN: https://www.pivpn.io/

 

But yes, the "gamer" plan is the only way to go if you want to expose services to the internet.

I get 10.10.*.* address on WAN interface of the USG.

Thanks, and understood. I already have username/password disabled. The SSH daemon only runs when I'm testing something, it's stopped most of the time.

Just got connected in Lower Hutt via MyRepublic, Nokia ONT came in Bridged mode by default, which doesn't allow logging in or use of 1G ports. Had to connect to 10G port and set USG to get dynamic IP. Works. Successfully reached speed up to 1G which is the highest line speed with USG. Can't wait for UDM Pro. 

 

Some sort of firewall must be built in to Nokia ONT as all my custom ports are blocked, can still access the security cameras, but no applications. Anyone come across that before? 

 

 

In bridge mode the ONT is a layer2 device, it is not in any way aware of layer3 protocols on the customer transport side. All firewalling is the responsibility of the customer router in bridge mode. So, no in bridge mode the Nokia ONT is not blocking anything at all.

@ruch33 MyRepublic use CG-NAT by default - the exception to this rule is on their "Gamer" plans which simply include a Static IP. This means that any services you're port-forwarded to won't work.


Also, if you're port forwarding to security cameras or other IoT devices this is a massive security risk and without a doubt these devices will likely be compromised by now.



This. Check you are not behind the CGNAT.

Hi I asked that and he says he has a private address, not a CG-NAT private, so it will definitely be behind NAT but seems MR use private for CG-NAT [rolls eyes]

Just switched to the gamer plan with MyRepublic and everything appears to be working as expected. Here's a screenshot from my PC, obviously restricted by the 1G link for now.

Hmmm, I've just tried plugging in directly to the 10G RJ45 port on the ONT, and aren't getting 4000/4000 like some.
I tried switching out the ethernet cable and SFP+ RJ45 module, to see if they were the culprit with no joy.

 

Fast.com is giving me better numbers than speedtest.net.
I'll hit up Orcon and see if its something on theirs/chorus' end.

Hi folks, 
I switched from Vodafone cable to Orcon Hyperfibre, install completed and tested ok for internet connection on the 22nd Dec. Not seeing the 4GB speeds others have reported, but still nearly 2GB/s down and over 2GB/s up - queried with Orcon on 22nd and still waiting for a reply (not holding my breath, obviously). It's way faster then the 600MB/s I was getting from the cable modem though, so I was happy with that. 

 

BUT: Now that the family's all come home, it's rather turned to custard. I run my main PC as a media server (video, music, photos) and it's on the 10G port of the Nokia ONT. Gets great internet speed, but I'm having major issues accessing it from my plex server and the kids / wife's laptops. Symptoms:

 

1. nslookup fails for all local devices - "ontdevice.lan can't find redactedpc: non-existent domain." The ONT is serving as dhcp and dns server, but I can't find any settings for dns in the pathetic console under the "userAdmin" login. It seems to be running dns ok, but it looks like it's not recording reverse lookups for the devices it's handed out addresses for. 

 

I could map smb via IP address as a holiday workaround, but:

 

2. the DHCP settings are all display-only. I can't change the internal address range (not a fatal issue, but annoying,) and I can't set static addresses - the fields are there but you can't enter anything into them.

 

I'm going to hope everything renews to the same addresses over the holiday period and still use mapping by IP address, but does anyone know how to set IP ranges and set reservations on the Nokia ONT?

 

 

 

cheers,

 

Terry

Apparently this stuff is getting unlocked in a firmware release/update early next year (in the replies a few pages back); I’m holding out for it too.

You could always just run everything though another router. (Though double NAT can be annoying)

Except, MR's CGN is not set up correctly using the 10.64 block...

Ahhh you mean 100.64.. Yes it would seem they have their own standards 🤔

Yea, 100.64, I clearly should not be posing on Christmas morning!
