[arm-allstar] vpn and port forwarding

[James R. Pilgram]

I was using Verizon and it was a PITA.  Every billing cycle they would reset the mifi and I would have to physically have to turn it back on. My guru WH6AV put a "back door" on it and when they found it, they blocked it. I called the tech support to no avail.  They told me to pay the $500 one time  fee or there's nothing they can do.  One tech told me that they can wave the fee for government, public service and police agencies.  Trying to convince them that ham radio is public service was a non-starter. I gave up and quit using it.

Hey guys,

OK, so we are working on setting up an allstarnode on my repeater
system.  We're putting it right at the site hooked up to my scom 7330.
So the only way we can get internet at the site is through cellular.
Fortunately we have a solid connection up there with Verizon.  The big
issue is port forwarding.  We obviously need to do that.  Anyone else
on here have a similar issue?  I know that the ports need to see a
public IP and often with cellular that changes.
Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Jed.n1jbc
