Unrestricted APN

[Talen3]

I phoned vodacom tec suport and they said its automaticaly perminant. I knew that he was lying to me. thank you for all your guys help. My clients should be happy with my new support system i can offer them.

Sure it will, the 3G interface is just seen as another IP port.

Do you have a product name?

Hi Vodacom3g,

I spoke to you 2 years ago about setting up the unrestricted APN, on which I have become very relyant.

On Friday I renewed my 2-year contract and received the new USB stick modem with new software (version 9.3.3.10523). To my dismay I could not find the place in the new software where I can set the APN to "unrestricted" as I was able to do before.

As a security measure I only switch it on when needed. Otherwise I stick to the restricted settings. I therefore need to be able to control the APN.

Can you tell me how I should go about doing that?

Why not give MDMA a go (sticky in the MTN forum). You can set the APN quite easily and it has a smaller footprint than VMC.

Thanks!

This works very well!

Hi v3g
I would like to host my own website on my pc using my vmc.
I'm well aware of the security issues and will deal with it.
I would just like to know a few things.

Is it Possible to host my own website using unrestricted apn.
What else do I need to make this work i.e. dyndns etc. or
If I activate unrestricted apn, is the IP address automatically Static.

Your input would greatly be appreciated.

You'll need both the unrestricted APN and DynDNS as the IP won't be static. Otherwise it will all work fine. Just make sure you have your firewall in place.

Also, remember your upload speed becomes the download for those who access your server. So a UPA modem will help a lot.

What is an unrestricted APN?

If you have to ask, you most likely don't need it.

It allows incoming connections to a PC, so it can be used for remote support, file sharing, etc.

But at the same time it allows others to hack into your system, so use with utmost caution.

There are absolutely no performance or any other advantages to it. You don't need it for any normal internet stuff.

V3g you pirated my post!

Me pirate something from the Yellow threads?

Actually, I do remember MTNDD once pirating one of my posts.

Hi
I've just updated to latest firmware on K3715 or E230, I downloaded VMC 9.4.3,
I'm running Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. MDMA does not work anymore after I reinstalled windows 7 again. Not the real issue
For some reason I can not create an "unrestricted" APN connection in VMC 9.4.3.
I keep on seeing the connecting bar but it doesn't connect.
Does any have the correct settings for vmc.
My sim is on "unretricted" APN for the last year or so. Only now having these issues.
Normal vodacom internet connection works fine, its only the unrestricted apn I cant get to work.
Any help would be appreciated

Have you loaded the Windows 7 patches for Huawei modems as per this page: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthr...Mobile-Broadband-if-I-am-running-Windows%AE-7. It might solve your MDMA issues, so you can use it to set your APN (not that you have posted the error in MDMA, so I am guessing here).

I'm running Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. MDMA does not work anymore after I reinstalled windows 7 again.

The latest versions of VMC have "hacked" drivers, the descriptions in the .inf file have been modified to show up as "Vodafone Mobile Broadband Secondary Port".
MDMA 1.0.0.30 should be able to detect them now.
