We've been wanting to replace our all of our ad-hoc OOB links with a

CGNAT and infinitesimal levels of background scanning.
Unfortunately Telenor has decided to deploy a central firewall that
drops all inbound connections, making their service totally unusable
for our use case. I guess they don't want our money.
Sounds like the console server will need to "phone home". That a
workaround might be possible doesn't make a firewall which the user
cannot control to some degree less annoying. Though it might be that
Telenor just needs to be notified/reminded that power users and business
customers exist.
