Hello,

I'm using ppp(8) for many years to connect via UMTS to my service provider
and Internet, actually www.fonic.de; all this works fine already for long
time, works fine for outgoing TCP and UDP connections to Internet.

Until now, I did not care about incoming TCP connections, for example for
SSH'ing from remote to my netbook, connected via ppp(8), or for incoming
SIP; it turns out now,, that I can:

- check with "lynx -dump myip.nl | fgrep WAN" with which addr I show
  up in Internet:

  $ lynx -dump myip.nl | fgrep WAN
          WAN IP adres: 82.113.99.104

- can SSH fine to some remote server,
- but can not SSH back to the addr 82.113.99.104;

I contacted the provider thinking that he is blocking all IP connects which
have not been originated by a SYN pkg from my side; but he claims not
blocking anything; and now? how can I debug this?

My interface looks like this:


tun6: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=80000<LINKSTATE>
inet 10.33.28.104 --> 10.64.64.64 netmask 0xffffffff nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        Opened by PID 799

and the routing is:


Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            10.64.64.64        UGS         0     1694   tun6
10.33.28.104       link#7             UHS         0        0    lo0
10.64.64.64        link#7             UHS         0        1   tun6
127.0.0.1          link#6             UH          0       75    lo0

Any ideas about this? Thanks.

I'm attaching the ppp.conf file.

It seems quite clear from your ifconfig output that your provider doesn't give you a routable address, so you will never see inbound connections. Usually providers have an alternate APN that will give you one, but that depends on the provider in question.
