I guess you'd need to use a vpn.

There's a fair bit on cgnat if you search the forum.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

You can't unless you have a private APN and route the traffic via an internal network, but I doubt you are an enterprise customer with £10K's to spend on this..


So your only option is to use a VPN or get the server owner to allow access from the o2 DNS  that they can see. 

 

And you have no chance on PAYG... There are niche MVNO's that offer a public IP but they cost a lot...

I would never be quite so presumptuous, but agree, as I suggested, that a vpn is the best way around the issue.
