@elderkai6969 If there was a nice way of responding to your "I ain't got nuthin' to hide" response, which is so common, it truly is sad, I would say it that way, but that's dumb as fvck, man, & that's simply because you _have_ _no_ _idea_ what cyber criminals are capable of doing. Just because someone doesn't have much in the bank or they're a law abiding citizen....trust me, those things should _NOT_ make anyone feel safe. Being able to open any kind of account in your name & doing whatever the fvck they want while appearing to be you...doesn't matter if you're wealthy or not or whether you're a criminal or not. And that's one scenario. I realize this comment is a year old, that doesn't matter. This opinion is all too common & I'd be a bigger *sshole _NOT_ to say anything, whether you appreciate it or not. Having nothing to hide does _NOT_ make anyone safe, by any means.
It's difficult to ask for details on something when I don't know the technical terms of what it is I'm asking for. In practical effect, I have a co-location willing to host a docker VM. My wish is to use this docker image as a "localxpose" server. I SSH to their docker image, that image has ports open to listen on a public IP. The traffic from that comes down the SSH tunnel and appears as coming from the outside world, if possible, or by NAT magic it figures the traffic out. It's the same goal as here, only with public facing hardware & bandwidth over the tunnel I initiate within my T-Mobile home LAN. Is this something OpenVPN does in a particular configuration? What am I looking for beyond avoiding paying $5/month to LocalXpose?
Cloudflare also offers this as a free tunnel, requires you have your own domain and set them for your DNS servers, but is not limited to the ports you can use. Pretty cool stuff.
Thank you for this Nate and Septuagenarian! Sir Tater, I switched to T-Mobile Home internet and dumped Spectrum Internet and saved a ton of money because of your videos but have had to pay for a VPN service just to access my Blue Iris CCTV server after I made the switch. Now I can dump the VPN and save a few more bucks a month... Thank you sir and keep up the great videos!
I spent some time researching how to accomplish something similar. Tailscale on my desktop. Setup a subnet router in Tailscale. And now I can access my home network from anywhere.
I've been using ZeroTier with my trashcan for about a year now. With the client on my Blue Iris security server as well as whatever devices I use to access it, it works great as a free solution with no time limitations. The phone app works, I can get to the web gui, and I can RDP into the server.
ZeroTier or Tailscale are great, especially if you want that 0-trust style of firewall on your LAN. I’m using a free-tier vps running nginx reverse proxy over Tailscale (I’ll switch to zerotier soon) w/ a script to share certs; so I can serve up https. It really wasn’t too hard, after liquifying my brain in order to configure nginx.

I have said from day one that T-Mobile needs to come out with a device that supports ipv4 public and being able to port forward. I mean if you are a big gamer or you have certain cameras that need to be set up and certain cases especially with gaming you must and need port forwarding a public ipv4 or IPv6 and support just for good measures UPnP or whatever that settings on I mean if they expect people to really switch from a normal ISP that supports all of this this is definitely priority for a lot of gamers because even on say Frontier communications or Comcast most of the time Xbox and Playstation are going to have a moderate to a straight net type right out of the get-go and then once you do port forwarding it instantly goes to an open net type but also I have tried to report this to T-Mobile as feedback and I never seem to get to the right department or people don't understand so maybe somebody on RUclips if you guys have a tech channel or anything and you're into Network I would definitely try and pass this on to T-Mobile maybe they can use the current device or come up with a new one that would allow this. Because I keep telling people and even myself I will never switch to T-Mobile home internet even though they have fast download and fast upload and I have DSL because I have already tried their T-Mobile hotspots and like this guy said you can't port forward normally unless you use a certain program or what not and I'm not really into learning all that information I just wanted to work or have a basic understanding of how to open up my ports so they don't have issues like this later down the road
@NaterTater thank you for the video... I love your content. I currently have the TMHI and would like to get port forwarding on the xbox. My son has been complaining ever since I made the switch to the TMHI service he can't play online and use the headset to communicate with friends. Unfortunately the property where I live has an exclusive contract with a rinkadink company that only offers 10 mb downloads and 1 mb uploads and that's why I chose to switch to tmhi. You can Imagine that in a household of 6 it doesn't do well especially when my wife and I work from home. So we made the switch to tmhi and it's been great for the house but my 2 sons complain constantly about not being able to play online. Anywho any help would be much appreciated.
I am having a hard time hosting a DCS Flight Sim server with this T Mobile 5G Home internet, my question is, will i be able to maintain a tunnel open to play with the free method or i have to pay the 5 bucks a month?
I use my own router with good bufferbloat control and have no issues running DCS EFT and PUBG even with double CGNat it's stable enough, I am curious if port forwarding would help my connection even more but I no longer have double nat using Verizon home internet IP passthrough but Verizon is also on CGNat so I'm curious to wether it's over handling squirly Dan or if it would improve my ping even more 🤔🤔
@@cheefadareafer What router you are using?, i have a Netgear Nighthawk Model R6020 and still didn’t worked. Opened ports in router and still didn’t worked. I can enter my friends server but i cannot host.
Will the reverse proxy provide a external residental address or datacenter? The service I'm looking at hosting only supports or work correctly with residental.
Let me understand this. Right now I'm with Xfinity using port forwarding with their modem/router for my Q-See 18 security camera DVR. If I try the T-Mobile Home Internet I would be able to use this "LocalXpose" thing on one of my computers which would allow me to assign port forwarding to my DVR? Even if there is only a 15 minute window, it would be worth it to get rid of Xfinity.
I am using an Asus Router with Merlin firmware. It would be great if this service could be added directly to the router and run without the need for a PC. Most routers do run some type of Linux distro so it's theoretically possible. Merlin firmware does have ways to add services through a repository so hopefully LocalXpose will be added sooner or later. Thanks for the info!
Good content Nate. I have a question. I have both verizon home lte and Tmobile 5g. Both units get great signal. Is it possible to combine both into 1 to share the bandwidth? Is that even possible? Thanks!
I dont know how to fix my t mobile internet i added a router and followed instructions turned off t mobile wireless. i still lose connect i am behind an asd program for work. would this benefit ne? would i need to download Linux for the asd? i do advanced start up for the asd
I'm having problems getting the CMD command thing to work, I typed in the cd c:/localxpose but it says "the system cannot find the path specified" what does this mean and how do I fix it?
Another good N-T video... however for my purposes Tailscale works, is free and does NOT timeout. Its nice to have options. But will TMHI make it a TOS violation to run a server (if they have not already)?
I suppose if they see seriously excessive usage maybe? They mention that it's not intended for autonomous systems or server type use, but they likely don't do much in the way of enforcing anything.
hello NATE. is it possible I have Asus RT-AC5300 I can redirect ports from my DVR. PORT : 8081 or what do you recommend so that you have a SIM modem for T-Mobile 5G
@@NaterTater how would i go about getting my series x to work with online gaming? I dont have a windows computer to do the script stuff your doing.

Also this is the only isp i can get where im at so idk what to do and im hella frustrated can you give me any help at all please. Im losing my mind honestly
If you do this for a Plex server would you need a static ip and wouldn't the plublic address (the localxpose generated address) be set as the external site in the config file?
Hey there. Do you think this will help me connect to my l2tp ipsec vpn via my Mac? I can't with T-mobile Home Internet, but I can if I plug in my comcast that is still active. Assume it's a port issue. I understand that UDP is used..for L2TP
anyway to run it on a cheap phone instead of Windows/linux/docker (so android/ios) ? because the phones are super efficient in terms of power compared to a PC e.g.
FYI for any body I ran into errors running CLI. I had to setup environment variable in windows 11. To run localXpose from CLI. Add localXpose as path edit and add new for me C:\loclx
With all due respect, I lost you after about 5 minutes into it. I have several cameras I have opened on my ASUS router. I also use the free DDNS feature of the router so I never have to worry about my COX IP address changing on me , which it does a couple times a year. Just to be clear, using one of the (T-Mobile 5G internet) rear Ethernet Ports and connecting it to my existing ASUS router input used for the input from the output of my modem, will not allow the open ports on the router to connect to my cameras as well as other hardware I use like my Synology server, etc. ? This became a T-Mobile 5G Internet show stopper for me if its the case. I noticed this is video is 11 months old. Has their been a chance on this problem? Thanks, Ken
@@NaterTater That's to bad. I would also think a VPN would slow down speed. Lets hope some day they can fix it. I read somewhere the Verison 5G version allows for port forward. Have you heard that too? Thanks for your reply.
Nate do you have to set this service up to reboot the devise (gateway) from an external 'outside' device like computer and/or smart phone. Currently i can reboot my Asus router using their app on my smart phone
Hey Nater Tate thanks for the info. I am not exactly understanding how to port forward using this method. I am accustomed to going into the router and just adding my ports for TCP and UDP but how should I add my ports say 27014-27050. it is not showing on the documents or I am not understanding how to create those ports for multiple at once. If you could weigh in that would be greatly appreciated
Its not complicated, i was network tech for 4+ years with at&t and i dealt with this kind a stuff, but as a father not being able to play with his kids while im away is killing me! Fortnite works ok on tmobile 5g internet. But anything else doesn't even load.... so i need some help here cause im desperate to play with my kiddo! To my understanding i grabbed my ps4s ip address, open a tcp port 80 or whatever than move onto the next ports for Playstation network Service i beleive therew like 5 or 6, if this is all i have to do i will send you some type of compensation because i researched and theres nothing on reddit or tmobile forums....
So would this fix nat types for online gaming, specifically the Nintendo Switch? I'm test driving TMHI and I love the speed but you can't game online because of the nat type. I have a VPN that people say will let the NS work properly online if you add it to the router but wouldn't that make everything go through it, slow it down, and possibly not work with streaming services?
@@NaterTater I'll check further, it looks like it may require custom firmware to do that. How would a service like localxpose work on the router to provide openings for gaming? I'm already in over my head but how would installing this on anything but a router work for console gaming?
There is nothing stopping you from using (2) routers. You could have your main regular WiFi and then plug in a 2nd VPN connected router with a different SSID. I did that a bit last summer when my work VPN wasn’t working correctly with TMHI, so I used an old, 2nd router that connected to an openVPN client that I just connected my work computer through.
@@notime4264 I have the Arcadyan, with wifi off, connected to an Asus ac1900 providing the wifi. You're saying turn the wifi back on the Arcadyan, load the VPN on the Asus, and just connect consoles to the Asus?

could anyone help guid me a little on how i would use this to farward game ports i am very new to this and scared of screwing stuff up lol unfortunatly i have the kvd 21 t mobile router so from what i have seen theres not many "safe" options out there so i got into xposed and everything just didnt see anything about opening forwarding or anything about any kind of ports anywhere so i need somone who knows more then i to help point me in the right direction
Thank you! I've been brainstorming a solution for a couple of days. Had the functionally made up in my mind but couldn't get a name for it - reverse proxy. Duh. Thanks again!
its also referred to as a bouncer we use to use them back in the day at college so we could run ftp and game properly because he edu had strict rules you had to have a bouncer
@@NaterTater Thanks for your reply & great videos by the way. So then I should be able to access my device using ipv6 from out side my network right? I’ve look online to see if this is possible but I found that the only network that T-Mobile supports IPv6 natively is the AS1239 IP network which is reserved business Internet.. I’m I right or wrong on this?
This is still not a good solution. I have 11 webcam and each webcam needs two unique port numbers. I guess I will be using TMHI until Concast say I am a new customer again so I can get back. BTW, Verizon home internet allows port forwarding and TMHI does not? I will complain, hope you do.
Has anyone leveraged localxpose to view IP cameras over RTSP specifically? Hoping that's something you can do in localxpose vs cloudflare(definitely cannot stream video on cloudflare tunnels) Otherwise, I haven't been happy with localxpose. It's the same as Cloudflare tunnels, but it costs money.
Do you mean on your local network (LAN)? You can do that either in the router settings and assign you xbox a specific IP address (the best way) or you could tell your xbox to not get a dhcp ip but rather assign it manually a static ip in the appropriate range for your LAN.
I am currently wanting to port forward for my xbox. is all i need to do tunnel the ports i need via my hard wired pc(i dont have a wifi antenna for it) and those ports will be open for my wifi connected xbox? Without having to input any ip or reserver any ip for my xbox?
There are multiple tunnel options which work. Cloud flare has a free tunnel with less limitations and free. Raid Owl YT channel has a great tutorial. But thank you for the video more options=more better!

@@NaterTater I guess this only works on a locally hosted device. If you try and point to an ip with a specific port, you have to pay for localxpose service. At least that is what I think is going to happen. I never made it any further.
The port technical isnt open. Its a reverse proxy so you cant use a port sniffer to see it. You go to the proxy address and it will have access to your device/IP/port you sent it to.
This is not good way because it is not secured and also limited and if you have router you cannot apolied easily , for me i setup access from any network using payload on the cloud and can run it from any router device inside private network

here's how I cover acres of wifi coverage myself. you might want a point 2 point wifi bridge for a specific area otherwise it takes a lot of access points to cover all 21 acres in full. ruclips.net/video/hIKZzCkbXDY/видео.html
Thank you for everything sir!
I have said from day one that T-Mobile needs to come out with a device that supports ipv4 public and being able to port forward. I mean if you are a big gamer or you have certain cameras that need to be set up and certain cases especially with gaming you must and need port forwarding a public ipv4 or IPv6 and support just for good measures UPnP or whatever that settings on I mean if they expect people to really switch from a normal ISP that supports all of this this is definitely priority for a lot of gamers because even on say Frontier communications or Comcast most of the time Xbox and Playstation are going to have a moderate to a straight net type right out of the get-go and then once you do port forwarding it instantly goes to an open net type but also I have tried to report this to T-Mobile as feedback and I never seem to get to the right department or people don't understand so maybe somebody on RUclips if you guys have a tech channel or anything and you're into Network I would definitely try and pass this on to T-Mobile maybe they can use the current device or come up with a new one that would allow this. Because I keep telling people and even myself I will never switch to T-Mobile home internet even though they have fast download and fast upload and I have DSL because I have already tried their T-Mobile hotspots and like this guy said you can't port forward normally unless you use a certain program or what not and I'm not really into learning all that information I just wanted to work or have a basic understanding of how to open up my ports so they don't have issues like this later down the road
@NaterTater thank you for the video... I love your content. I currently have the TMHI and would like to get port forwarding on the xbox. My son has been complaining ever since I made the switch to the TMHI service he can't play online and use the headset to communicate with friends. Unfortunately the property where I live has an exclusive contract with a rinkadink company that only offers 10 mb downloads and 1 mb uploads and that's why I chose to switch to tmhi. You can Imagine that in a household of 6 it doesn't do well especially when my wife and I work from home. So we made the switch to tmhi and it's been great for the house but my 2 sons complain constantly about not being able to play online. Anywho any help would be much appreciated.
I'm looking to set this up but I'm not sure what values to use. Could you share your setup?
I will stay using Zerotier for now. I have it running as a docker on my unraid server.
Can you show how to open tdp ports on the gui interface they have now? Can't get it to work.
The setup is for a laptop or desktop? I do not have desktop at home to keep it Runyon the background
I am having a hard time hosting a DCS Flight Sim server with this T Mobile 5G Home internet, my question is, will i be able to maintain a tunnel open to play with the free method or i have to pay the 5 bucks a month?
Have to pay to have the tunnel open longer than 15mins
I use my own router with good bufferbloat control and have no issues running DCS EFT and PUBG even with double CGNat it's stable enough, I am curious if port forwarding would help my connection even more but I no longer have double nat using Verizon home internet IP passthrough but Verizon is also on CGNat so I'm curious to wether it's over handling squirly Dan or if it would improve my ping even more 🤔🤔

so tater I need port 9000 forward, open for OSgrid. Would that be localhost:9000 on the tunnel setup. A bit overwhelming.
Will the reverse proxy provide a external residental address or datacenter? The service I'm looking at hosting only supports or work correctly with residental.
Let me understand this. Right now I'm with Xfinity using port forwarding with their modem/router for my Q-See 18 security camera DVR. If I try the T-Mobile Home Internet I would be able to use this "LocalXpose" thing on one of my computers which would allow me to assign port forwarding to my DVR? Even if there is only a 15 minute window, it would be worth it to get rid of Xfinity.
Correct and its free to try so you can even try it with Xfinity (turn off your current port forwarding).
I am using an Asus Router with Merlin firmware. It would be great if this service could be added directly to the router and run without the need for a PC. Most routers do run some type of Linux distro so it's theoretically possible. Merlin firmware does have ways to add services through a repository so hopefully LocalXpose will be added sooner or later. Thanks for the info!
good suggestion!
Me too !! Asus with Merlin is absolutely amazing
Good content Nate. I have a question. I have both verizon home lte and Tmobile 5g. Both units get great signal. Is it possible to combine both into 1 to share the bandwidth? Is that even possible? Thanks!

Another good N-T video... however for my purposes Tailscale works, is free and does NOT timeout. Its nice to have options. But will TMHI make it a TOS violation to run a server (if they have not already)?
+1 for Tailscale.
I suppose if they see seriously excessive usage maybe? They mention that it's not intended for autonomous systems or server type use, but they likely don't do much in the way of enforcing anything.
I sent like 200GB out from my TMOB gateway monthly and I dont have issue.

Is a solution avaible for wireguard (Without a IPv6 an CGNAT))?
If you do this for a Plex server would you need a static ip and wouldn't the plublic address (the localxpose generated address) be set as the external site in the config file?
The localxpose generated address is your "static" IP. And yes you would need to reference that for your external site.

With all due respect, I lost you after about 5 minutes into it. I have several cameras I have opened on my ASUS router. I also use the free DDNS feature of the router so I never have to worry about my COX IP address changing on me , which it does a couple times a year. Just to be clear, using one of the (T-Mobile 5G internet) rear Ethernet Ports and connecting it
to my existing ASUS router input used for the input from the output of my modem, will not allow the open ports on the router to connect to my cameras as well as other hardware I use
like my Synology server, etc. ? This became a T-Mobile 5G Internet show stopper for me if its the case. I noticed this is video is 11 months old. Has their been a chance on this problem? Thanks, Ken
No change. If you want to open up that many ports (cameras, NAS, etc) with TMHI you probably should go through a VPN with port forwarding support.
@@NaterTater That's to bad. I would also think a VPN would slow down speed. Lets hope some day they can fix it. I read somewhere the Verison 5G version
allows for port forward. Have you heard that too? Thanks for your reply.
@n1kkri yes i use verizon too. It allows it.
Nate do you have to set this service up to reboot the devise (gateway) from an external 'outside' device like computer and/or smart phone. Currently i can reboot my Asus router using their app on my smart phone
It would be convoluted but I think technically possible to do that. Probably easier to setup a smart plug (or even a dumb timer plug) to do it.
will running 200ft of wire to a mimo waveform 4x4 make the signal worse
Yes. Minimize it and then run ethernet from the gateway.
Do you think the free plan would allow a Plex server to stream to apps?
Has anyone managed to use this to clear up their Xbox nat type?

Thanks for watching, i'd recommended using their support services and/or the online help guide.
Hey Nater Tate thanks for the info. I am not exactly understanding how to port forward using this method. I am accustomed to going into the router and just adding my ports for TCP and UDP but how should I add my ports say 27014-27050. it is not showing on the documents or I am not understanding how to create those ports for multiple at once. If you could weigh in that would be greatly appreciated
Yea i think this is setup to do individual ports, not ranges.
Its not complicated, i was network tech for 4+ years with at&t and i dealt with this kind a stuff, but as a father not being able to play with his kids while im away is killing me! Fortnite works ok on tmobile 5g internet. But anything else doesn't even load.... so i need some help here cause im desperate to play with my kiddo! To my understanding i grabbed my ps4s ip address, open a tcp port 80 or whatever than move onto the next ports for Playstation network Service i beleive therew like 5 or 6, if this is all i have to do i will send you some type of compensation because i researched and theres nothing on reddit or tmobile forums....
So if i wanted to use plex you would have to put a instance for every computer that use it?
Well you could open those ports to a router that would then forward to each computer or a plex server (the other computers locally connect to it).
@@NaterTater is that complicated?

hey nater i heard that if i get a unlocked tmobile compatible modem/gateway that has port forwarding itll work? like the fx2000 ?
No, a gateway can have native port forwarding but it wont work on tmobile's CGNAT network without a full workaround like VPN, reverse proxy, etc.
@@NaterTater hello. I’m looking to use a VPN to have port forwarding available on my TMHI gateway. Which one do you recommend ? Thank you
So would this fix nat types for online gaming, specifically the Nintendo Switch? I'm test driving TMHI and I love the speed but you can't game online because of the nat type. I have a VPN that people say will let the NS work properly online if you add it to the router but wouldn't that make everything go through it, slow it down, and possibly not work with streaming services?
If you have a router you can typically choose just specific devices to use the VPN. That would be your best bet.
@@NaterTater I'll check further, it looks like it may require custom firmware to do that. How would a service like localxpose work on the router to provide openings for gaming? I'm already in over my head but how would installing this on anything but a router work for console gaming?
There is nothing stopping you from using (2) routers. You could have your main regular WiFi and then plug in a 2nd VPN connected router with a different SSID.
I did that a bit last summer when my work VPN wasn’t working correctly with TMHI, so I used an old, 2nd router that connected to an openVPN client that I just connected my work computer through.

Are you connected directly to the tmobile gateway? Or connecting your router to the gateway?
i got http to work but can't get udp to work and i did upgrade localxpose to get the udp option but it still doesn't work.
there is a udp bug with localxpose that doesn't allow udp server to have vpn tunnel successfully to the outside world. even localxpose themselves say this. but what no one is saying is when and if this bug will ever get fixed.

Thank you! I've been brainstorming a solution for a couple of days. Had the functionally made up in my mind but couldn't get a name for it - reverse proxy. Duh. Thanks again!

so when i launch the exe file from local xpose it just closes out right away what am i doing wrong ?
You cant double click the exe. See 6:00 onward
Doesn't work for TCP/UDP. So unless you want to pay big $$$ for pro version you can't host any game servers by opening ports.
i created the tunnel for my console port and looked back on my console and the NAT is still strict, any advice?
I think there are several ports to open for a game console and they are TCP and UDP protocol so that requires the paid version.

Does T-mobile home internet support ipv6 , if it does wouldn’t you be able to port forward using ipv6 if you really wanted to?
Yes but there is no port forwarding in ipv6 every device has a unique IP.
@@NaterTater Thanks for your reply & great videos by the way. So then I should be able to access my device using ipv6 from out side my network right? I’ve look online to see if this is possible but I found that the only network that T-Mobile supports IPv6 natively is the AS1239 IP network which is reserved business Internet.. I’m I right or wrong on this?
This is still not a good solution. I have 11 webcam and each webcam needs two unique port numbers. I guess I will be using TMHI until Concast say I am a new customer again so I can get back. BTW, Verizon home internet allows port forwarding and TMHI does not? I will complain, hope you do.

Do you mean on your local network (LAN)? You can do that either in the router settings and assign you xbox a specific IP address (the best way) or you could tell your xbox to not get a dhcp ip but rather assign it manually a static ip in the appropriate range for your LAN.
