I can completely confirm that.
That's good, because swisscom hotline claims that they *NEVER* had this problem. Maybe something somebody put on a blog so other people know what they can expect.
fyi, the easiest is Sunrise Takeaway - just change the APN to "remote" and call the Hotline to put you on the "VPN Acccess"
(no cost)
That sounds good! Maybe I'll give that a try.
Orange was never able to provide me a public IP.
I am not sure whether this was because of the state "business customer" or via default (it's about 6 month ago).
can you tell me how to get that done with swisscom?
I called the hotline and told them about my problems; then they told me to click start and enter "cmd" and I told them that I am not running windows, but they can tell me what they want me to check. Then he told me that he does not know what to check, just the commands to enter, which he would not tell me, because I don't have windows. Sigh. So I was pushed to 2nd level support. Re-explained that guy the problem and he stated he's to forward it to somebody else.
One day after that (today morning) I was called back, re-explained the issue and stated that I think that the nat is the problem. Took me about 10 minutes arguing that this in not Linux' fault. Then he send me a useraccount/password/apn to use for testing and I should give him feedback in a few days.
Sincerly,
Nico
