LTE and Static IP

[hansotto]

I am currently subscibed to the LTE Uncapped option which is great! In our area of Rustenburg the max ADSL speeds are 4mbs.
I need to at times access a remote camera which uses IP blocking to make changes to the camera. I do not stream from the camera much. The streaming goes to a Zoo in Copenhagen.
So I need to have a static IP and am currently using PureVPN for this. The big problem for me is the Rand Dollar exchange rate.
Can one get a Static IP from Telkom on LTE? and if so does it require a special router?
I have read up some on proxies and suspect that I may be able to use a proxy with a static IP from somebody like http://www.bestproxyandvpn.com .
This might be less expensive. Now I was wondering if anybody knows of a provider in South Africa that can offer a similar service as bestproxyandvpn? It might be less expensive than paying in Dollars.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Why don't you use something like No-IP.com ? I have a kguard system at home I also needed to view my cameras when I'm not at home. So what I did was I gave my DVR a static IP on my home network I then opened ports for that IP on my router. I then created a DNS for my DVR through NO-IP.com and this then translates the new IP my ISP gives me into that DNS name and I can always view my cameras at home when I'm at the office. I also no NO-IP has a program you can install on a Server or PC that is always online that will update the DNS NAme with the new IP you get from your ISP this will then make sure you never lose connection to your cameras.

Kind Regards

I think problem is different. Camera streaming is already working, but only allows access from specific IP addresses. Solution is already here (VPN service), but expensive.

Re:OP. Sorry, I can't help with VPN and Telkom do not give static IP to the cellular users. Ask Telkom Business rep maybe they give customers VPN access to their servers. For ordinary public they don't do it.

Telkom does offer free dynamic DNS if you have a Telkom internet account, like the one you get if you're a DSL customer. If you have such an account, you can configure dynamic DNS here: https://online.telkomsa.net/smt/

I have not yet been able to figure out how to get a Telkom internet account (*@telkomsa.net) for my Telkom LTE Mobile Business subscription. (I'm currently using dyndns, but would prefer to use telkom's offering so I don't have to worry about running the dyndns on my synology)

(durr you're right sajunky, OP probably does need a fixed IP not just dynamic DNS, unless the camera system can do hostname lookups)

Any updates on this? I am using ddns but it is blocked at my customer. Trying to get their IS dept to unblock but would like a static IP. At the price* uplink speed over LTE smokes everything.

* <1GB/month to upload, datastore at 400GB is too expensive for cloud services.

Hoping to revive this.

Our JHB office is unable to use Telkom and FTTB and Wireless are unjustifiably expensive for our small team and needs. We are left with LTE as our current choice which works great for general office internet use.

Our team often needs to connect to databases on computers that are not on our offices network. For the past few years, we have been using "Log me in Hamachi" as our VPN tool, it's free version works for our needs, is quick to install and setup on both ends and works like a charm where both upload points are 5Mbps and higher. I am very open to new easy to setup VPN options to test just in case its Hamachi that's the problem but the VPN tools we have tested show that it’s the ISP behind the LTE that is the problem.

On our Fibre and Telkom lines in our cape offices, we do not have any connection issues using Hamachi, our ping speeds are generally between 30Mbps and 80Mbps.

The moment we switch to a LTE network, we experience relayed tunnels and incredibly high ping speeds (400Mbps+). All our port settings do nothing to solve the issue.

A wonderful rep/tech at Cypherwave has informed me that we need a service provider to provide us with a static IP address for our LTE and that this will help solve this problem but that we will be hard pressed to find such a provider.

Do anyone of you MBB Gurus have new info on static IP on LTE?
