Excitel should do this to provide some relief from private IP related issues

[karanits]

Port forwarding can help those who needs to do basic stuff not dependent on specific ports to be open. As a start, CCTVs can work. If any specific port is assigned to me at all times than, whatever is my public IP (which is also shared by multiple users) combined with that port can be used by me. A hit on that public ip with that port will be forwarding to my internal ip assigned at the time.

Sure I would still have to use some DDNS service.

@Excitel @philip marlowe What does it mean? Port forwarding requires static IP? Makes perfect sense amirite?

I dont think they would give you specific ports like 80!. That would mean no other person in the same network can get those ports. But atleast @Excitel should give option to forward some GENERIC PORTS as a start.

Turnss out Server for "delhiwebhosting" is in France. 150ms Latnecy! Anything more than 20ms is unplayable for gamestream.

DelhiWebHosting is a absolutely terrible. I'm getting 5-6 ad emails in my inbox since I registered from them. I can't block them as its sent from different addresses.

I guess you should go for Aws, they have a datacentre in Delhi IIRC.

So has @Excitel done anything about this?

 

[karanits]

so @Excitel has told me that they dont have any plans to provide public IPs. So what workarounds are members using for this, VPNs?
