Network clarification question
muffetta:
Hi,
Could not be the right place this, sorry, but i need a clarification about network connections. Where i live we are three users to share the same Internet connection, a main router, and a wireless one, connected to main, used by two users, including myself. Is there a way to get the my connection completely open like for the main router? The main's router owner says the open connection is available only for his router and for a single connection, so if need to see some sites with restrictions/limitations, behind a firewall, as we, wireless users, are, i always have to ask a favor to the owner of the main router, could not be a problem, sure but he could be bored on long time.
Is this true or is it possible to configure a "double" opened connection?
Thanks for any suggestion.
guzzi:
That probably depends on the router. Mine can be set to 'exposed host' per user. Why do you need to completely bypass the router firewall? Won't a few port forwarding rules do?
muffetta:
So, the main's router owner could be that he say right.
Since some sites are not available for me, i thought it was the firewall or a particular configuration of both routers.
Should i ask for a better configuration?

Sure, also this could be useful :P

Barbara, just buy a VPN access for 5$/mo. and you will get an external IP fully exposed to the Internet and your local authorities' Internet censoring (if any) bypass with just a little bandwidth and CPU time overhead.
You can also buy an own wireless router compatible with, for example, DD-WRT or Open-WRT firmwares (may be less than 10$ on secondhand markets) that you can use to set up a VPN client onto and get a seamless access from all devices connected to it. You can administrate port forwarding yourself then.
Best wishes,
Boris.
