Rain & Port Forwarding

Its not just the uncapped offering that doesnt allow port forwarding, i have tried with my telkom sim as well and was not able to access the open ports

Let me make your day.

Change your Telkom APN to "unrestricted" without the quotation marks. Then try again.

Thank me later.

I tried the APN 'unrestricted' setting with Rain and it doesn't work. I was hoping it would work for Rain LTE R250 but no luck. Very sad...
It did the trick with my Telkom LTE.
I have a Software Defined Radio that I would like to open up for others to come in and tune around. Worked fine with Telkom LTE.

Rain uses Carrier Grade Network Address Translation.

Port Forwarding is not supported.
 
I have the R250 rain package LTE on B315, i’m trying to play multiplayer AC unity on PS4 and it tells me i have a strict Nat type but ps4 tells me i have nat type 3 (i think this might be because of double nat) but is there anyway i might be able to port forward with a VPN or fix double NAT and fix the game telling me that i have NAT type 3

Put a VPN on your router otherwise yeah i think its apart of these method to stop people using the Unlimited sims to run everything
 
I think the biggest thing Rain are worried about is R250 network hosting for servers and such. You could get a raspberry pi, throw a Rain sim mod onto it. Put it in a place of good signal and you could have a server that's running on a 30/5 connection or 20/20 with the 1800 Band. If it was allowed I totally wouldn't set up a pi cluster and see if I can't bridge them all into one big beefy package.

Actually... for R250 you could spend R1000 and get 4 rain sims. Bridge them all if you manage to do so (bloody mission mind you) and have a 40*4 = 160mbps down and 24 Up or 80/80 with the 1800 band. Not too shabby, just, unfortunately, the freaking 18:00 -> 23:00 deadzone is a pain in my left nautilus and the uncapped package is just a waste of speed.
 
Anybody had luck with port forwarding yet, we just ordered 24/7 packages to experiment with now since ADSL has been down for 2-3 days.

Any local ISP with public ip fiber line at my one place
But i only really tested it for you guys no point in forwarding on a slow connection like rain

Still need to port forward for IPCams and home security, outside of that I have a small Minecraft server for my family which works fine on ADSL, so should work even better on rain. Can you throw me any pointers?

I managed to use OpenVPN with a free VPN in France that had ports like 80 and such open, which worked. I just can't find a local VPN that lets you specify any ports to forward.

Get a private VPS server (e.g. Contabo VPS for €3.99/mo).
Install Linux and OpenVPN server.
Set up port forwarding (DNAT) in iptables to forward any traffic you want down the VPN tunnel back to your home devices.

I doubt that is what RAIN are trying to prevent. I think it's just the way they designed their network.
The number of consumers who even know what a Raspberry Pi is or how to set up webservers is minimal. I sync hundreds of GB to Onedrive (uploads) without issues so if they're trying to limit upload bandwidth they're not doing a good job of it.

I just left out the part that it's a carrier grade Nat, double actually. Yeah it's just setup like that and there is nothing we can do. I mean, I found a workaround but it's a pain in the arse hahaha and costs a little, and the free alternative just has all your stuff routing via EU.

But I guess it works and that's the biggest point.

There is also local VPS providers, granted they charge a little more, but I can mention a few I've used that is very good
