I've recently attempted to configure an OpenWrt One as a router for my own private network. I found the ISP in my apartment has a firewall to prevent an outside router from getting through and am getting an internet connection but with 100% bit loss.
I am new to internet protocols and was wondering if there is a possible configuration to get around this firewall.
Depends on how it was implemented, you might be able to.
Start by cloning the ISPs router's WAN IP onto your Openwrt device.
To be clear, and to be be sure this topic is OK with the community guidelines:
Can you better describe what you mean by "outside router", and the settings, account information needed (if possible) to overcome that?
Otherwise the suggestions [I assume others with ethics would respond to] are very limited.
(Duh, we need to know your inquiry isn't i.e., 'theft of service')
Usually called VPN
So if it’s a private network you want to set up and connect to, that can work without a public ip address, there’s things like Zerotier ? Tailscale ? I remember in the old days there was hamachi.
If you’re talking about connecting to the internet through a vpn yeah there’s tonnes of providers out there.
If you can reach the Internet from the router itself but not from LAN devices, the ISP may be rejecting packets based on TTL. This can be circumvented by setting OpenWrt to rewrite the TTL of wan forwarded packets to the expected number (usually 64).
