[Human.Debris]

Hi All

Any idea if there is an unrestricted APN option available on 8.ta?

No such nonsense from 8ta. There is no restricted APN.

Lol!
For now anyway
See our fun and games on the Cell C unrestricted APN thread....

I am trying to get services working on 8ta. I am using a TP-Link MR3420 and have set up forwarding (under virtual servers config) for a number of ports. The port forwards are all enabled and I have double checked that it is set to forward to the correct internal IP address, but I cannot access from the Internet. I am using dynamic dns and have checked that it is the correct wan address for the router.

Any ideas, as to me it seems that 8ta are not allowing port forwarding?
I am forwarding common ports : 25, 443, 1723

Apologies to 8ta.
It is Unrestricted by default.
Well done 8ta - no unnecessary red tape and hoops to jump through !

My problem was simply, someone had changed the Sim in the modem. I was expecting it to be 8ta, turns out it had a Vodacom sim in. Changed the Sim back to the 8ta sim, waited 5 minutes, and my port forwards stated to work!

Can someone tell me if the default unrestricted apn for telkom / 8ta is still true??

Yes. I also have a TP-Link MR3420 router, I have "internet" specified as APN (which is the default when selecting "8ta" as the ISP) and I can Remote Desktop to my PC (amongst other things) from the Internet. There doesn't seem to be any ports blocked for incoming connections on 8ta.

http://www.canyouseeme.org is useful to test for this.

Thats very odd cause I seem to be getting the following when looking my new contract sim up
nmap xxxx.myfoscam.org

Starting Nmap 6.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-08-01 10:49 SAST
Nmap scan report for xxxx.myfoscam.org (41.151.49.50)
Host is up (0.035s latency).
rDNS record for 41.151.49.50: 8ta-151-49-50.telkomadsl.co.za
Not shown: 996 filtered ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
25/tcp open smtp
80/tcp open http
8080/tcp open http-proxy

This is the same as when you look up the IP address on a restricted vodacom or MTN account

Seem to be getting the forwarding on all my installed 8ta / Telkom dongles now, does anyone know if there is an APN or something I can use to unrestrict ??

 

[flatline2010]

Turns out that the Dongle I was using seems to put up some form of Firewall that cannot be controlled via my router..

Only if it is WiFi (MiFi) router. If you use modem dongle directly attached to PC it shouldn't be any filtering.

Ports definitely blocked!

I had unrestricted access until sometime in July. Since then ALL incoming ports are filtered. I dunno if this is to do with the cut over from 8ta to Telkom Mobile, or because I bought into the Multi Sim option. I have been fighting with the call center for 3 months now, and the last answer I got was "This is not a commonly provided service"

So I am also looking for an unrestricted APN.
