| Dec 27, 2022 at 21:27 | comment | added | Cristian | @harrymc yes I have access to the internet, all services work ok, it seems only incoming connections are not working. Even if my IP is dynamic, it should work if I try to access it from outside, shouldn't it? But I'm starting to think that my ISP does not allow incoming connections. This issue started happening since I changed from Cable TV to 4G (and got a different modem) - the rest of the setup is the same. | |

| Dec 27, 2022 at 20:59 | comment | added | Cristian | @user1686 it seems "WAN IP Address" is "Unknown"... what does that mean? | |
| Dec 27, 2022 at 20:56 | comment | added | Cristian | @acejavelin wow! I didn't know that... You mean that anyone using SIM internet, that wants to do home networking and setup public servers at home have no possibility of doing so? | |
| Dec 27, 2022 at 20:50 | comment | added | acejavelin | Be aware that most cellular services either use Enterprise grade NAT or block all incoming connections (regardless of what port it is on)... This is often not a usable scenario you are trying to do. | |

| Dec 27, 2022 at 20:45 | comment | added | grawity_u1686 | Before anything else, have you checked whether the modem has a public IP address at all? Its status page has a "WAN IP Address" under "Device Information". Does it show a public address or a private one? Does the address shown in the status page match the address shown by Google? | |
