✅ SOLVED!!!! Free Way To Port Forward On CGNAT ISP Like T-Mobile Home Internet - No VPN or Router!
Ғылым және технология
FINALLY, a FREE way to port forward with a ISP that has CGNAT like T-mobile home internet! It requires no VPN or extra router. Here's a simple way to run a reverse proxy that establishes a secure connection to the internet and allows you to receive inbound traffic to a specific device and port on your local network. I demonstrate how to use LocalXpose and provide easy to use and modify scripts for you to setup your own tunnels. This is not sponsor but I do get a small commission if you sign up via the link below (at no cost to you!).

Just an FYI, folks. Xlab, the company behind this, is an offshore holding company with zero information on their site about who they really are. As a reverse proxy they will have access to ALL of the data you send through their network. Keep that in mind.

@elderkai6969 If there was a nice way of responding to your "I ain't got nuthin' to hide" response, which is so common, it truly is sad, I would say it that way, but that's dumb as fvck, man, & that's simply because you _have_ _no_ _idea_ what cyber criminals are capable of doing. Just because someone doesn't have much in the bank or they're a law abiding citizen....trust me, those things should _NOT_ make anyone feel safe. Being able to open any kind of account in your name & doing whatever the fvck they want while appearing to be you...doesn't matter if you're wealthy or not or whether you're a criminal or not. And that's one scenario. I realize this comment is a year old, that doesn't matter. This opinion is all too common & I'd be a bigger *sshole _NOT_ to say anything, whether you appreciate it or not. Having nothing to hide does _NOT_ make anyone safe, by any means.

It's difficult to ask for details on something when I don't know the technical terms of what it is I'm asking for. In practical effect, I have a co-location willing to host a docker VM. My wish is to use this docker image as a "localxpose" server. I SSH to their docker image, that image has ports open to listen on a public IP. The traffic from that comes down the SSH tunnel and appears as coming from the outside world, if possible, or by NAT magic it figures the traffic out. It's the same goal as here, only with public facing hardware & bandwidth over the tunnel I initiate within my T-Mobile home LAN. Is this something OpenVPN does in a particular configuration? What am I looking for beyond avoiding paying $5/month to LocalXpose?

So for someone like me who has an Xbox series X and can’t play games due to the lack of UPnP with TMobile home internet, how would I utilize this and what would me and my sons Xbox be connecting to with our Xbox’s? Would we still connect to our T-Mobile router in Wi-Fi list? Or would there be another thing listed for us to connect to once I set this up etc
I'm using tp-link ax73 with 5g tmobile 5g internet gateway. I opened the gateway and installed waveform 2x2 antenna witch it gets me over 500 MBits down and 50-60MBits up. The gateway stays connected to B66 (4g) signal -88db and N41 (5g) with signal -61db
I'm using the free version of the GUI and it keeps saying "you cannot select a subdomain, only pro users can" and I am not selecting a subdomain. I created a tunnel with my LAN IP as well as my public IP address and when I click the PLAY button, I get the same error.
Hey Nate, this problem was why I had to get rid of T-Mobile home internet. I like to be able to access my Plex server outside my network. Do you think this setup will work for plex?
So will this work for gaming? World of warcraft will just randomly lag and not respond but if I use my phone as a hotspot it works just fine. I'm assuming I would need to pay so I can get access to TCP UDP ports.
Hey! I'm new to this, but it seems like the process is very different on a mac vs a PC, by any chance can you provide a tutorial for this for Mac? I'm sure there are a lot of other people in a similar boat!

Will the reverse proxy provide a external residental address or datacenter? The service I'm looking at hosting only supports or work correctly with residental.
Additional software installation doesn’t work for me. I am thinking perhaps I can use ipv6 and setup OpenVPN in the router then access internal devices after vpn in.
I dont know how to fix my t mobile internet i added a router and followed instructions turned off t mobile wireless. i still lose connect i am behind an asd program for work. would this benefit ne? would i need to download Linux for the asd? i do advanced start up for the asd

Hi, sort of different topic but relevant. I have the same T-Mobile 5G box as you. I added Eero Pro 6 mesh to my larger home. In fact, I have a few buildings on my property and have 2 X of each setup. Ok, I do see the Eero speeds are 150+ mb/s (speed between gateway and Eero) and Speedtest at 60mb/s to my device. Second, my system drops and crashes every few days. I have to do a hard reboot of each gateway and Eero - by unplugging the gateway and then it works again. Clearly there is a mismatch of bits and bytes between the gateway and the Eero. You have any experience in this issue?

For some reason, I was told that the bit rate or size of throughput for the T-Mobile Gateway is not standard and that 3rd party routers get a bottle neck and barf and then get overflowed and drop.

No, a gateway can have native port forwarding but it wont work on tmobile's CGNAT network without a full workaround like VPN, reverse proxy, etc.

I think there are several ports to open for a game console and they are TCP and UDP protocol so that requires the paid version.

@@NaterTater Thanks for your reply & great videos by the way. So then I should be able to access my device using ipv6 from out side my network right? I’ve look online to see if this is possible but I found that the only network that T-Mobile supports IPv6 natively is the AS1239 IP network which is reserved business Internet.. I’m I right or wrong on this?
This is not good way because it is not secured and also limited and if you have router you cannot apolied easily , for me i setup access from any network using payload on the cloud and can run it from any router device inside private network

With all due respect, I lost you after about 5 minutes into it. I have several cameras I have opened on my ASUS router. I also use the free DDNS feature of the router so I never have to worry about my COX IP address changing on me , which it does a couple times a year. Just to be clear, using one of the (T-Mobile 5G internet) rear Ethernet Ports and connecting it to my existing ASUS router input used for the input from the output of my modem, will not allow the open ports on the router to connect to my cameras as well as other hardware I use like my Synology server, etc. ? This became a T-Mobile 5G Internet show stopper for me if its the case. I noticed this is video is 11 months old. Has their been a chance on this problem? Thanks, Ken

No change. If you want to open up that many ports (cameras, NAS, etc) with TMHI you probably should go through a VPN with port forwarding support.

I am using an Asus Router with Merlin firmware. It would be great if this service could be added directly to the router and run without the need for a PC. Most routers do run some type of Linux distro so it's theoretically possible. Merlin firmware does have ways to add services through a repository so hopefully LocalXpose will be added sooner or later. Thanks for the info!

I really appreciate that you're about two months ahead of me debugging (I mean working with) SAGEMCOM'S FAST 5688W 5G Gateway. Like other's have said, this is really a home user-friendly hotspot. That said, I'm generally pleased with performance and stability. I stumbled onto your vblog when I first powered up my can a month or so ago. I saw your helpful external 5G Antennas video. I subscribed. Today I spent an hour researching and learned that T-Mobile's home internet device uses "CG-NAT" protocol: That means no IPv4 port forwarding, ever. Maybe IPv6 port forwarding in the future (don't hold your breath). Then I try a KZread search . . . Bingo! Nater Tater's already been there and done that. And just a couple months ago. Perfect timing. Thanks. And thank you for sharing too : ) P.S. Regarding security, please note that allowing your typical home internet gateway/router to have UPnP enabled may invite serious security risks.

I have said from day one that T-Mobile needs to come out with a device that supports ipv4 public and being able to port forward. I mean if you are a big gamer or you have certain cameras that need to be set up and certain cases especially with gaming you must and need port forwarding a public ipv4 or IPv6 and support just for good measures UPnP or whatever that settings on I mean if they expect people to really switch from a normal ISP that supports all of this this is definitely priority for a lot of gamers because even on say Frontier communications or Comcast most of the time Xbox and Playstation are going to have a moderate to a straight net type right out of the get-go and then once you do port forwarding it instantly goes to an open net type but also I have tried to report this to T-Mobile as feedback and I never seem to get to the right department or people don't understand so maybe somebody on KZread if you guys have a tech channel or anything and you're into Network I would definitely try and pass this on to T-Mobile maybe they can use the current device or come up with a new one that would allow this. Because I keep telling people and even myself I will never switch to T-Mobile home internet even though they have fast download and fast upload and I have DSL because I have already tried their T-Mobile hotspots and like this guy said you can't port forward normally unless you use a certain program or what not and I'm not really into learning all that information I just wanted to work or have a basic understanding of how to open up my ports so they don't have issues like this later down the road
