I have been a Opnsense customer since i purchased my DEC670 appliance. and each year purchased the business license as a home user i believe i am on my 3rd license.
long story short when i first signed up for Metronet fiber the Nokia ONT and my DEC670 would never stay connected. I ended up Needing the service to work so i read that a static IP address would be the fastest route, so i signed up.
Metronet is now moving to Tmobile Fiber internet, and rumor is static IP addresses are going away. which could cause me issues.
is anyone on this forum in the United States and fall under this same scenario but using the non static IP service/ CGNAT? and is your service working with no alterations to Opnsense?
thanks
Do you work from home (and can prove it) or need internet for work purpose (company can prove it)? If so you might be able to get them to change you to a business account and still sell you a static IP. This is the process if you are using their 5G Cellular internet, business is able to buy a static IP.
Worth a try.
If you talk to the right person, they won't care about proving business and still set you up, I hear this happens a lot at the physical stores so you might want to walk in to your nearest and ask them.
As far as the fiber resources go, I'm not sure. The 5G accounts are all behind CGNAT and your streaming media accounts may give you fits with the constantly changing egress address and the multiple users egressing from the same address. Hulu basically won't work for me and getting ready to drop it.
