Is a Public IP Discoverable, When Using SFC

Product Discussion
1

I have a use case where my Public IP Address must be discoverable.

If I set up a Speed Fusion Protect tunnel, may/can the public IP address of the tunnel be discoverable?

If yes, how do I set up this feature and find the SFC tunnel public IP?

Are you saying that you dont have fixed IP’s and you want “the system” to help devices find each other? If yes - then yes. Using inControl the IP addresses are discovered and automatically propagated amongst device which are part of that speedfusion profile.

I would say , “no”.

In essence, I am exposing a device on my LAN by opening up a port on the firewall, to the WAN.

The device is then accessible via my public IP:port number.

Then you want DNS.

Enable “Find My Peplink” within the device setting in inControl. It is a Dynamic-DNS solution.

It has nothing to do with speedfusion and will work with or without speedfusion enabled.

What type of internet connection is it?
If it’s a standard cellular plan it likely has carrier grade NAT, which means the ip is non-routable.

What is the purpose of using Speed Fusion Protect tunnel for this project?
Speed Fusion Protect tunnel does not provide routing in, however you may be able relay through it with a connection on each side.

Both WAN connections are CGNAT, cellular and StarLink, thus no public IP for either.

My goal was to use SFC to increase the upload bandwidth and to make the IP public accessible.

Erik - I am reading up on “Find my PepLink”. Thanks.

Speed Fusion Protect tunnel does not provide a public ip , so find my peplink won’t help for the tunnel or either native wans.

You can either relay via the tunnel using a share code, but each end will have to be a peplink or
host your own fusion hub in vultr ,amz or some other cloud provider that will give you a public ip.
