[arm-allstar] Supermon, outside hotspot access of mobile node

[Fred Hillhouse]

A hotspot IP may change very often and it is possible we would never know.

I used a dns service at home. The software loaded on my PC not my router.
The hotspot is the "modem/router", correct? However, at home, I could
configure port forwarding in my router. That appears to be where the problem
is with using a hotspot. I wonder if there a hotspot with port forwarding.
It would be worth searching for one.

I have been tinkering with a go-box for several years and thought about
adding an Allstar node. Assuming a 'home' node remains available while away
seems like the wrong answer. This is not a rant; I am hoping to learn! I
guess one of the reasons for a go-box is the SHTF scenario. It is one thing
to be able to grab and go for the purpose of helping someone else, but when
our own location gets whacked, then what? 

I am a newbie with Allstar so I don't really know all the options. In a
couple of weeks I am hoping to get more time to play and get something
running.

Best regards,
Fred N7FMH

It still isn't forwarding a port at the hotspot. A dns service would only
benefit if your ip address changes often and you are a private node and want
to connect to another private node. You'd have to have each other's ip
address added to each node stanza. Doing a dns service on a hotspot,
probably won't work, unless it is a phone hotspot. Then you could run a dns
app with all your info to your dns account. No way to install a dns app on a
dedicated hotspot device.
