Question

I am trying to ping my Router from a remote machine using the WAN public IP. I have the rule in place for accepting PINGs however when I try pinging my router it times out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below i will attach a screenshot for reference.

Hi,

It seems that you have a private IP on your mobile interface. IP addresses that start with '10.' are private and are not allowed to be routed on the internet (RFC 1918). Some Mobile operators offer a different APN that can be used to get a Public IP. You would need to check with your operator to find out if such APN is available and configure your device to use that APN.

Kind Regards,

Andzej
