Missing port forward option, after migration from cable 200 to cable max 1000.

radicalrj — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 11:14:42 GMT

Hi,

I migrated from cable 200 to cable 1000 few months ago. Just now I realise that my new cable max router from Vodafone doesn't have port forward option.

how can I activate it?
I want to use my home VPN, but I need to forward the port to my computer that is behind the router.

After checking the internet, looks like this router doesn't have that option... I am a bit disappointed.
What can I do?

"modem: free black vodafone modem/router"

Wild guess - Vodafone Station ?

Very simple: Your contract is provided using the (contractually agreed for) DualStack-Lite operation mode. This means you get a public IPv6 network but all IPv4-traffic is sent through a carrier-grade NAT device called AFTR gateway. Therefor you share your public IPv4 with many other customers and thus are not able to set any port forwardings.

I was not aware of this contract restriction when I signed up for the upgrade.

Is there anything that I can do to solve the situation? Change the router to a fritzbox helps somehow?
Or can I request a different policy?

This "restriction" is part of private user lines since at least 2015(!)...

And the only way to get a public IPv4 for sure:

Switching to a Business tariff plan AND opting in for the additional "Feste IP-Adresse" (static IP address) option.

Of course, this makes the contract more cost intensive...

are you sure about that? because I was using port forward normally on my previous cable 200. (from 2018 until 2020 when I switched to the cable max).
Looks like the cable max is different?
The DynDns on Vodafone station also doesn't work. Can I reach my network from my ipv6 using dyndns?

Hi radicalrj,

since I ask why you're using the VPN?

Re: Missing port forward option, after migration from cable 200 to cable max 1000.

radicalrj — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 14:41:36 GMT

Access to my home files! Access to my home gadgets that are not exposed. Access to my home internet instead of paying for VPN.

It was working before on cable-200

Hey,

did you run our old router in bridge mode and connected your own router to it?

Wallace

radicalrj — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 16:21:27 GMT

before?

The old modem was not running via bridge... I was using it as a normal router.... and the port ward option was there.

Hi,
I can see the port-forward option back, and with the correct configuration.
But I am still unable to access it via outside... Tried both ipv4 and ipv6 of my router. I can not reach the vodafona router and also not my internal devide.

radicalrj — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 19:06:27 GMT

It is working now ... it is a temporary fix, or it is reliable to trust on this?

Re: Missing port forward option, after migration from cable 200 to cable max 1000.

Wallace — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 20:09:27 GMT

Hey,

the change will remain in effect until the next tariff change.
