Obtaining a Permanent IP Address for UPC Internet: Remote Monitoring Access & Privacy Laws

Hello,
I have a question about obtaining a permanent ip address on the Internet with an upc-contract for a private person.

I have monitoring at home and I want to have remote access to it, and a permanent ip address is required for this.

After talking to the supplier, I found out that they cannot give me a permanent ip address, because the Personal Data Protection Act prohibits it, and by signing a contract for a company, I get a permanent ip address, but you pay a lot more for services.

A friend advised to use the dyn.com website, but there you also have to pay a minimum monthly subscription of $ 5.

Do you know any solution to my problem?
I will be grateful for any help.

greetings

Thanks a lot! A matter of time or not, they will do a paid service. Once upon a time, dyn.com was free.

A router from Gargoyle and using some free ddns service.

What is a gargoyle router?

Router - one of the basic devices in computer networks, working in the third layer of the OSI model and used to connect different networks.
Gargoyle - alternative software for routers based on OpenWRT. It allows, among other things, to use free ddns services - Link

Thanks! I understand what is the router. I didn't know this Gargoyle.

And what equipment does a colleague from the operator have at his disposal?

None for now, because they will connect me in a few days, after a year of struggle ... Why are you asking? What exactly do you mean?

Because you will probably get UBEE - it's a modemorouter - and here, as you know, external IP ends with it - so you will not see the recorder in the external network.
BUT, you can switch this UBEE to bridge mode - additionally your own router and this problem is no longer there.

And that's what I recommend you to do.

What a nonsense translation on their part - and this company is not in force, you do not need to (any longer) protect your data ...

The answer is simple - an ordinary user does not need (according to the operator) a fixed IP - in their opinion, people take 250 Mb only for browsing the web, e-mail and nothing else ... - I don't understand it myself, why I can't have a fixed IP.

I have 2 servers that I have "exposed to the world" - but everything done in roundabouts ...

At one time, probably Vectra for PLN 10 a month "gave" a fixed IP to a home client - as it is now I do not know, but I think they still offer it.
At UPC, only the company gets a fixed IP.

Thanks so much for the tip!
Switching this Ubee to bridge mode is my reason that it is on the Upc side?

And yes and no - no, because they want their dumb WiFree service (a different type of wifi - just their networks) to run on their hardware - so they won't switch it for you.
And yes - because you yourself can switch it without any problems.

And yes - because you can easily switch it yourself.

And where is this Ubee device going to be located? At my house or in their mailbox?

Will you tell me how to switch it easily?

At your home.

How do you get this equipment.

Welcome,

It took a while, but finally I have this Ubee hardware and UPC services. Now I have to buy a good router and set the UPC one as a bridge.

Will you suggest how to do it, or how to check if it is done?

greetings

In bridge mode it is not 100% done:
Anyway, here's the operator's ready-made:
https://pytania.upc.pl/?q=fact_1006973

I have an Asus RT-N18U as a router - I do not use wifi at all (it only has 2.4 GHz wifi - no 5 GHz), and the rest 100% meets my expectations: POLISH menu in the router, everything is arranged simply and clearly in the GUI router, working port forwarding, detachable antennas, router firmware updates issued every 3-4 months, 3-year warranty, hardware NAT, gigabit LAN and WAN ports - for me up to PLN 300 there is nothing better.
I had a total of 3 TP Links (different models on the same network configuration at my home) - all of them died.
