Hi Paul, Dynamic or static is no issue - I can always set up a vpn or DDNS service to cope with those vagaries. Its more about getting a public IP address directly on the USB interface. I suppose maybe another way of doing it is buying something like a TPLink MR6400 and setting up a failover ethernet link (still backed by an LTE service) instead of via USB? *BEN JACKSON* Director *M *0404 924745 *E* ben@elogik.com.au *W* elogik.com.au <http://www.elogik.com.au/> <http://www.elogik.com.au> On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 2:11 PM, Paul Julian <paul@oxygennetworks.com.au> wrote:
You can get public ip on Telstra 4g but not static so port forwarding will be tricky.
We use Telstra 4G with sierra wireless USB dongles in hAp devices and the setup works very well for our out of band network access

Does anyone have any advice on a) a decent 4g service that provides a publicly accessible IP address that ports can be forwarded through as well as how to get hold of an unlocked USB dongle which will support the SIM / service?
Or even a provider that provides this on one of their business plans?
If it can be a prepaid plan even better.
I'm looking to use said device as 4G failover on a meraki mx64 security appliance and calling the usual suspects (Optus, telstra) is giving me a headache.
Any advice on what others have done in this scenario would be most appreciated.
