Missing port forward option, after the 1 year option expiration

Gianmarco — Sat, 17 Apr 2021 13:06:56 GMT

Hi,

I cannot see the port forward option anymore after the 1-year option to change to a lower-tier contract expired. This is a game changer as I am a software engineer and I need it for some projects, and I cannot live without this option.

Here some extra information based on the requested format:

contract: cable max 1000
modem: Vodafone Station
error: Doesn't have port forward option
connected: via wifi and ethernet, there is no port forward option there on the admin
operation system: mac os and windows. There is no port forward option there on the admin
start period: Since after the 1-year time limit to switch to lower tiers options
signals level: does not apply here

Please do not tell me that I have to switch to the business plan as I am already paying a big monthly check for the internet, and I won't have other choices to check for another internet supplier. Let me know if I can go back to my originals admin option and have back the port forwarding.

Best,

Gianmarco

Hello Gianmarco,

you have no option in your contract, to use a own IPv4 with port forward option. You have a connection to the internet.

But you can use the Vodafone Station in a Bridge-Mode. Look into your customer portal for this. You can still get an IPv4 address there, but you should use a router after that, because only one ethernet-port is still active on our device.

Jens

Hello,

My question and context were quite clear and the answer you provided me just told me that you cannot help with my initial request.

I guess the only thing is to change the internet provider after the contract will end.

Best,

Gianmarco

Hello Gianmarco,

Jens gave you the solution to the port forwarding problem, which is the bridge mode. The other option is the business tariff with the fixed IP. As we cannot give you a different answer I will close your thread here.

Claudia
