sprintmobilefan Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have mine through FreedomPop but I think Sprint is the one blocking it. Since I don't have fixed internet at home I was planning to use my device to keep tabs on various things. I port mapped my wireless camera through the built in firewall and still cannot access it from the public IP Sprint assigns. After getting a Franklin U600 for free last month I tried the same thing out on the WiMax network, and it isn't blocked, camera works great. Has anyone got the LTE network firewall lifted and how do you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZorbatron Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 No. Incoming connections to MVNOs are more restrictively firewalled than those to Sprint-branded devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprintmobilefan Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Why isn't the WiMAX network blocked then? Does freedompop have the ability as an mvno to unblock it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprintmobilefan Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 I tested with FPs other devices they sent, a Franklin U600 WiMAX/EVDO modem. It works just fine, both 3G and 4G network IPs are public and routable! I'm thinking it might be the MiFi 500's router blocking things, going to acquire a Netgear LTE modem and move the SIM to see if I'm correct.

dedub Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I doubt it is just the mifi router blocking them, unless you have a static ip or some type of business account, its very likely that sprint is blocking/filter incoming connections across lte to prevent lte from being used as a server connection. wimax network is older and different and doesn't necessarily have the same filtering/network managemen rules. edit; I can ping my wimax hotspot public ip, but can not ping my netgear zing lte hotspot public ip.
