    Dear Forum Members,
    Please let me know which of the operators within the mobile internet (without other services) gives a public address with the possibility of port forwarding. Unfortunately, there is a lot of contradictory information on the network and telecoms usually don't have such information.
    Today, only after talking to a paid T-mobile number did I get a certain answer that they block port forwarding on public addresses. They give it only to companies and for an additional fee.
    Maybe some of you have already successfully practiced such a task with another supplier?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    E.

    In Plus, such IP is payable for individuals, cost PLN 6.15 / month for dynamic and 18.45 PLN / month for static. In Orange you can have dynamic or APN vpn for free, you need to contact BOK and justify the need for such an IP. Recently there has been information from individual mobile internet customers Orange offers a permanent public IP with external access, of course for a fee. It is worth confirming this in Orange Customer Service.

    Unfortunately, you can't do it at Orange. Since they have implemented LS NAT, no requests will help. They also changed the regulations for new contracts. You can get a public IP without a firewall but IPv6. For this reason, I gave up their services last year.

    Do you have a business or individual subscription? Somewhere I saw the regulations of this Orange VPN and the cost of the variable is 5 PLN and the static 18, but I do not know how it is in the end.

    That's right, I confirmed it in a conversation with * 900 - both on * 100 and in chat, and even more so in the "window" sales have no clue what's going on. Embarrassment - if only the client would press the service and then let them do it.

    They don't block anything. You have a public address, you can redirect the port, and if you don't have an IP 10.xxx so private.

    I have it for free, but I activated it over 2 years ago.

    . The address does not have to be behind the operator's NAT at all, it can be a public client on the WAN with external access blocking (in Plus this is the case, in Play it was before with the Internet service, even Aero2 once assigned a public IP). With the additional public IP service, all ports are open from the outside of the network (tcp / udp 1-65535). An interesting offer is available on the Plus network with the public addresses of this operator http://www.telepolis.pl/ consciousosci/otvarta-patriotyczna-siec-komorkowa,2,3,41646.html.

    But this has nothing to do with blocking port forwarding alone. That is, redirection does not change the fact that the address is not available from the outside.

    You can only successfully perform port forwarding at a public address. There is no such thing as a port forwarding block, such an un routed address is hidden behind the operator's proxy / firewall and all traffic initiated from outside is cut off. User-initiated traffic is open and the appropriate ports opened by the user's devices / applications / programs work.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around mobile internet providers that offer public IP addresses with port forwarding capabilities. Users report that T-Mobile restricts public IP access and port forwarding to business accounts for an additional fee. In contrast, Plus offers public IPs for individuals at a cost, while Orange has recently started providing public static IPs, although some users have faced issues with NAT blocking. The conversation highlights the confusion surrounding the availability of public IPs and port forwarding across different providers, with Plus and Orange being the primary options mentioned for individual users.

FAQ

TL;DR: Need mobile public IP and port forwarding? Plus offers it from PLN 6.15/month, and "In Plus, such IP is payable." Orange may require APN VPN via BOK and sometimes a fee. For Polish mobile users needing inbound access for CCTV, servers, or NAS. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17129612]

Quick Facts

Which Polish mobile operators actually allow public IPv4 with port forwarding?

Plus offers paid public IPv4 (dynamic or static). Orange can enable dynamic or APN "vpn," and some report paid static public IPv4. Always verify with Orange Customer Service before ordering. These options enable inbound access and typical port forwarding use cases. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17129612]

How much does a public IP cost on Plus (dynamic vs static)?

Approximate monthly fees reported: PLN 6.15 for dynamic public IPv4 and PLN 18.45 for static public IPv4. These prices apply to individual customers on Plus. Enable the add‑on to allow inbound connectivity and standard port forwarding. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17129612]

Does Orange offer public IPv4 to individuals now? How do I request it?

Yes—users report Orange now enables public static IPv4 for individuals. Activation is handled by the expert hotline. “You just have to run it on expert *900 hotline.” If regular agents seem unaware, insist on the expert line. [Elektroda, sebapulawy, post #17130041]

Why do some Orange users still get refused public IPv4?

Orange implemented large‑scale NAT (LS NAT/CGNAT) and updated rules. Requests for public IPv4 are often declined on newer plans. They do provide public IPv6 without a firewall, which supports inbound access if your gear supports IPv6. [Elektroda, IC_Current, post #17129879]

I’m on T‑Mobile consumer mobile—can I get public IPv4 and forward ports?

A user-confirmed response from T‑Mobile support: port forwarding on public addresses is blocked for consumers. Public IPv4 is provided only to companies, for an additional fee. Consider business plans or other operators if you need inbound access. [Elektroda, gunnpa, post #17129586]

Can port forwarding work if my WAN IP starts with 10.x?

No. A 10.xxx address means a private IP via carrier NAT. Your router cannot receive unsolicited inbound traffic, so port forwarding will not work from the internet. You need a public IPv4 or IPv6 for external access. [Elektroda, makosuu, post #17131268]

My router shows a public IPv4. Why do inbound connections still fail?

Operators can still block inbound traffic upstream. “There is no such thing as a port forwarding block,” but an operator firewall can cut off outside‑initiated traffic. In that case, only traffic initiated by you goes out and returns. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #17133025]

With Plus public IP service, are all ports opened for inbound access?

Yes. When you add the Plus public IP service, inbound TCP and UDP ports 1–65535 are open. You then control exposure using your router or server firewall. This enables typical services like CCTV, NAS, or game servers. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #17132506]

How do I enable a public IP on Orange via the expert line?

Follow this quick process:
  1. Call the expert hotline at *900.
  2. Ask them to activate a public IP on your mobile internet line.
  3. If other lines (*100/chat) seem unaware, return to the expert line for completion. [Elektroda, sebapulawy, post #17130041]

Which APN should I use in Orange for public IP or VPN access?

Ask Orange support to enable the APN "vpn" for public addressing. Some users received dynamic public IP or an APN VPN after justifying need to Customer Service (BOK). Confirm availability and any fees for your plan. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17129612]

Are there MVNOs on Plus that offer public IP options?

Yes. A user highlighted Otvarta’s offer on the Plus network that includes public addressing. Review the MVNO’s current terms and confirm public IPv4 availability and fees before switching. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #17132506]

Was Orange public IPv4 ever free, and is it still honored?

Some users report having public IP enabled for free in the past. Those legacy activations can still work, but newer contracts may require fees or are limited by CGNAT. Check your account’s current terms. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #17132506]

Do Play or Aero2 provide public IPv4 for inbound access?

Reports indicate Play previously offered public IPv4 on certain Internet services, and Aero2 once assigned public IPs. Availability changes by plan and time, so confirm before relying on it. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #17132506]

What should I tell Orange support to justify a public IP request?

Explain your need for inbound access (e.g., CCTV, remote server). Ask for a dynamic public IP or APN "vpn" as appropriate. Contact BOK and be prepared to justify the requirement for external access. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17129612]
