Hello,
Obviously dial up is no longer practical for most applications. I have a some of my gear co-located in a facility in downtown Los Angeles where the idea of paying a monthly for a cross connect to get a phone line is just not practical.
Can anyone recommend an idea that's not super cost prohibitive that would involve some kind of 4G or 5G Sim with a static IP address that is not CGNAT?
I'm running OpenBSD for my Edge routers, so plugging in a USB is not guaranteed, so is there a product that might have some kind of a bridge functionality where it will establish a mobile IP connection and then plug into my switch?
Also open to reasonably priced provider recommendations. I don't need a lot of bandwidth since this would mostly just be SSH or maybe openvpn traffic.
If you know of service providers as well as recommended products, that would be ideal. I don't want to spend thousands, but a few hundred dollars on gear seems reasonable.
Very best,
Jonathan
