[AusNOG] Static IP on a 3G/4G mobile service

[Brendan Baker]

We come across this requirement all the time.  You can chat to the guys at M2Mone  in Melbourne (which resell telstra network) to see what they can provide, but setting up a VPN is your best option.  Hopefully they've chosen a device that supports ipsec/openvpn/ssh :)

We find dyndns services pretty reliable, but still move our customers to a VPN solution longer term.

Telstra has been chosen as the preferred carrier because of superior coverage in general, but for the purposes of the testing we're doing at the moment, they're not an absolute requirement.
