Router: RT-AX86U Pro | Firmware: 3004.388.4
I'm using a mobile broadband router (Netgear) with Verizon as my service provider. They are doing some type of NAT because Asus Network Map shows one non-private IP address (e.g. 123.123.123.123) while external check such as ipmonkey.com shows another non-private (e.g. 234.234.234.234). When I utilize DDNS client, it registers the external IP address. In my situation, everything would be peachy if it would simply register what it says in the Network Map WAN IP. Seems there used to be a DDNS setting called "Method to retrieve WAN IP", but might have been removed in newer versions of the firmware.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can retrieve this parameter and pass it to DDNS for publishing? Thanks in advance.
P.S. What I'm trying to do is connect via OpenVPN from the outside. It works just great when I give the WAN IP address shown in Network Map. It does not work when I give it the WAN IP address reported by an external source such as ipmonkey.com.
