How to Send TCP Commands via Pepwave MAX BR1 Mini Router?

Everything Else
1

I am trying to send TCP commands through my Pepwave MAX BR1 Mini to a specific device on my local network. Since the router does not support installing additional software like **socat**, I am looking for a built-in way to achieve this.

Scenario:

  • I have an external system that needs to send TCP commands to a target device behind the MAX BR1 Mini.
  • The target device has a fixed local IP (e.g., 192.168.1.100) and listens on a specific TCP port (e.g., 5000).

Is there an alternatives solution for socat within the Peplink firmware to relay TCP commands effectively?

Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Where are you sending the TCP traffic from? Over VPN or do you want to send it from the internet?

If over VPN you can just route TCP traffic to the target IP. if from the internet you could port forward from the WAN of the BR1 Mini to the internal IP. If you are using cellular with CGNAT then can host a FusionHub in the cloud and port forward from it’s WAN IP to the LAN IP on the BR1 over VPN.
