    Hello

    I would like to ask for tips on how I can get a fixed IP in Tmobile and as a result connect to the FTP server

    I have mobile internet with B529 Router. I can't (!!!) get a fixed IP from Tmobile for any money because this option is not available to individuals.

    I read that the alternative is no-ip.com and dyndns, therefore:

    a) I created an account on no-ip.com
    b) configured and turned on in the router

    Now yes - I need to provide IP in addition to login and password to enter FTP - and I don't know what to do and what to provide?
    My xxx.dyndns.org entry does not work. Instead, looking at checkip, my IP is the one that I got from Tmobile 188.xxx (and therefore variable).

    Therefore, what am I doing wrong? And do I think that thanks to ddns I will be able to connect to FTP instead of xxx.dyndns.org?

    Thanks in advance for your tips

    What is your offer on T-Mobile? The public address is only available to companies, and is an additional paid service. Without it, you get a private address and DDNS doesn't change anything.

    This address is rather the address of the router standing at the provider, or T-mobile. you certainly have a private address from their network. Only a provider can give a public address if it has the option and will charge additional fees. you answer yourself:

    It's probably a public address. Standing and public are two things. Fixed = does not change. Public = from the range of public addresses used on the internet. The public address can be variable (dynamic), then DDNS helps. But it must be PUBLIC:

    "Checkip" and similar services detect the last address on the route visible from the internet. But this may be the router's address, not yours, because this service does not reach private addresses.

    You will not receive a public IP in this offer. The only way out is OpenVPN.

    You need to have an OpenVPN server somewhere with a public IP address, or you can buy one for example on arubacloud, then you have to put the client at home, on the PC, on the router with OpenWrt, simply on something in your network. Then the client connects to the server, and on the client you do a redirection for this FTP, and if it is to be accessible directly from the Internet (without connecting via VPN) then you also redirect the given port on the VPN server to the client. Then you connect to the Internet through the address of this VPN server: port.

    Thank you very much for help!

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around configuring a fixed IP and FTP access on a T-Mobile B529 router. The user is unable to obtain a fixed public IP from T-Mobile, as it is only available to businesses for an additional fee. They have set up a dynamic DNS service with no-ip.com but are struggling to connect to their FTP server due to the dynamic nature of their IP address. Responses clarify that the user likely has a private IP address and that DDNS does not resolve the issue of needing a fixed IP. The suggested solution involves using OpenVPN, which requires setting up an OpenVPN server with a public IP and configuring the client to redirect FTP access through the VPN. A guide for OpenWrt is provided for further assistance.
