SmartLink Test fails

I misplaced that question on another category, I got a couple of responses asking for more info that I answer next
and we start again:
The issue is that I cannot pass the network test, it returns always the red dot.

I had tested different modems from different QTH and internet providers, all with the sane results to my dismay, a red dot when testing SmartLink.
At my QTH use a 600/300 Mbs Vodafone router where are connected via RJ45 my home appliances including my Win10PC and FLEX-6400 radio for initial testing, now is setup at my remote QTH
At the remote ( far side ) my provider is also Vodafone but via LTE modem 4G/5G at an avg speed of 100/50 Mbs, connected to a TpLink 16x port Gigabit Switch, where are connected a Win10 PC, remotely controlled using a subscription to RemotePC, fiscally my FLEX-6400, CCTV cams, Rotator systems, automation to watering my crops as this site is located in a rural property, 4K TV, all working flawlessly but my FLEX-6400
On all my PCs obviously are running Smart SDR V3.5.9, DAX same V, CAT same V, all properly registered using my FR account. Normally I use my iPad running Smart SDR for iOS when not at home.
Respect the previous reply if I’m sure to open ports, what ports are you referring to? I registered DAX CAT SDR and SmartLink but nobody ask me to open ports, as My network settings are selected to AUTO.
Appreciate your answers

    You can forget this : Vodafone uses CGNAT for their LTE/5G Network.

    You need a native/public IPV4 Adress at the WAN side. These are only supplied by German TeleKom and O2 for their mobile networks. I don´t know if that is available abroad. You can try, but with delays , to set up SOFTETHERNET using the server at your home location ( if this one has IPv4 or at least IPV6 ) public adressing.

    Softethernet can undergo cgnat as long as the server ist reachable . Then it should work.

    You can use the VPN from anywhere connecting into your network at home and then you are in the same osi layer2 domain .

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
