Port Forwarding and Public IP on 5G broadband.

I am wondering if it's at all possible to port forward 3Broadband Unlimited 5G Silver Plan.

I’m looking to VPN my local network, which involves to have a public IP address and Port Forwarding. 

Thanks in advance.

Oscar.

Hey @Oscar_08462,, Welcome to the 3Community 🙂

I have checked this here for you and on the ZTE MC801A 5G Hub that comes with this plan, there is an option in "Advanced Settings" on the UI and in there is the settings for enabling Port Forwarding. The Public IP can also be added after you have joined the plan, all you need to do is call us to activate this on the account and then we will send you on the APN Settings.

I joined already. I’ll check the forwarding option now. 

Which phone number should I call to request the public IP? 

Thanks,

Oscar.

Hey @Oscar_08462 pop through to me here on PM along with your broadband number, full name address and date of birth and I can get the public IP sorted for you.

Perfect, I just sent the information requested.

Thanks Niall.

Hi Niall, thanks for much for the information provided. Everything is working perfect. I just have one more question. The public IP address I got, is dynamic or static? 

Thanks in advance.

Oscar.

Hey @Oscar_08462, the APN Open.Internet.Public is a Dynamic IP address.
