    Hi Beery,

    Just got my BBS up on Usenet again after like 25 years.

    I was just seeing if the BBS post went upstream.

    I know this is not the place for a test post but one of my users is into Ti computers and was not sure his posts were getting out.

    Hi Beery,

    Are you running a BBS?

    Yes, I am running a BBS, however, it is only accessible to me thanks to AT&T Wireless Cellular. I upgraded from AT&T DSL to AT&T Wireless Cellular for higher speed, and AT&T dropped port forwarding for their wireless router they use.

    Thus, I am not accessible from the internet via Telnet, rather only my intranet.

    All my messages I grab from 3 different networks (Fidonet, Retronet, and something else) by polling those networks, and then route the traffic back out.

    Can you use a PfSense router or a router from another vendor?

    Highly unlikely. I have found that if I rolled the version of the router software back to a version where the port forwarding wasn't disabled, I never get internet.

    AT&T Wireless Cellular needs to have their router with a recent firmware update, active. Otherwise, no worky worky.

    Beery,
    Can you set up a DMZ on the router? If so you could put a second router
    behind that one and use port forwarding there..

    Everything is blocked at the AT&T router. AT&T's router connection to the Wireless antenae transmitter to the cell tower uses a special cable so everything has to run through it first.

    Maybe look into another provider?

    I recently found out about https://unlimitedville.com/ from a youtuber
    in rural TX that uses that for their off grid homestead..

    There aren't many options, and unfortunately, I locked in a 1 year deal so I am stuck until sometime next summer.
