I just setup one for a customer on telstra:
They all have a private 10.x.x.x address so you can browse OUT using masq
but
getting BACK to your box is an issue. I resolved that by establishing a VPN
to
a known server. In the end performance (perth) was so dismal that he gave
up.
Data transfer was from nearly 400KB / sec down to 10KB and changed on a
second
to second basis. His app was data-collection for dynamic structure
analysis.
(B is bytes, not bits)
But there would seem to be no point in *any* port blocking in this picture.
I
found none.

FWIW
the ip i get is ...
115.128.41.59
so a dynamic public address.
So a better deal than Telstra ???
Are people getting these to work on Redhat/Centos ?
I will try again on Centos ...
