Port Washington, WI | Contemplating U-verse upgrade and prepping for DMZ+ I've been using AT&T DSL for about six years now. I'm paying for the small block of static IPs, from which I host some services for myself, friends, and family. My current modem is set to bridge mode, and I use a pfsense box to create a secure DMZ with pinholes for my servers to keep them separate from my LAN. I really want to upgrade to U-Verse for more Internet speed and for the TV service as I'm fed up with Time Warner.
The ability to continue hosting services in the same way is critical for me, and as such I've been reading everything I can find about the RG and DMZ+ mode to make sure the transition is as smooth as I can make it. A lot of what I'm reading is already a year or two old and I see things that make it seem like there may have been some recent changes in how the RG behaves, but I'm not sure.
What I'm expecting to encounter is something like this:
»Router behind the RG router, and port 25 issues
I'm still not 100% sure how I would be able to map the additional public static IPs to the pfsense box (I know how to set up CARP in pfsense to get multiple DHCP addresses from the RG), but I'm able to do everything I need currently with one public static IP; in the future I can futz with the other IPs (unless someone can explain it or provide a link without a lot of effort).
However, I've been seeing posts like this:
»Re: Voodoo to get Switches/APs working with Uverse?
The screenshots I've seen from the RG don't have an "Event Notifications" option, so I'm left wondering if what I've been researching is now out-of-date with a newer RG or newer firmware.
Can anyone shed some light on this? If the answer is "it depends on which 2wire RG you get", can I get clarification as to which models do what so that when the tech arrives I'm not scrambling to figure it out myself?
Thanks. |

kudos:1 | You should have no problems using the pfsense box to host services in the same way you have been
If you are comfortable with forwarding ports you will not need to use the 2wire dmzplus option |

Port Washington, WI | Thanks for the reply. As a follow-up, does anyone know if AT&T will lift the port 25 cap for a standard dynamic IP, or do you have to order with a static IP? |

kudos:1 | All email server software will allow the use of a different smtp port
All email client software will allow the use of a different smtp port
Most if not all email providers use a alternate port for smtp |

2 edits | I host my own MX and need port 25 open.
Edit: I saw a post that mentioned starting a case in the AT&T Direct forum here would probably get the result I need.
Thank you for the help wayjac |

| You can use a smarthost for outbound and it's actually recommended because many larger email systems perform filtering and will block from residential IP addresses.
For inbound I don't believe port 25 is blocked (only outbound) and in any case for a residential connection, again, I suggest using a relay service.
You won't be able to assign multiple IP addresses to a single machine without some toying around. They need to be assigned by DHCP to different MAC addresses.
