Static IP

Does anyone out there know if Public offers a static IP service? I need a remote inbound connection to a site that cannot have standard cable or DSL service.

I've never heard of static ip here. Have you looked in to DynDNS?

@Alex79 I don't think any mobile provider give you static IPs

I know Bell does for corporate clients, but that comes with a corporate price. 💸

I've tried Dyndns. The issue is that the way cellular works, is that there are a couple of different IP's in play before it gets to the device. I found that the address listed in the modem is not the address displayed on IP chicken. Dyndns can't route the traffic properly.

@Alex79 haha. Yes, I should have say it clearly no consumer mobile service offer you that

I use no-ip before , not sure if it is as good now

what exactly are you trying to do? If you want a reliable one, maybe you need a paid service instead

I need to have a remote connection to an access control and video surveillance system in a garbage room for one of my property management clients.

Oh interesting, you're right. The ip on the device is different from the public facing ip address. I guess that makes sense that it routes through a router (the APN) and supplies the device with it's own internal ip. Not an unroutable ip though.

I guess you might need to look at something like satellite and hopefully be able to be the external ip to your router.
