DDNS w/RT-AC68U Tethered to Android Phone

[NoelS]

I have my AC68U Tethered to my Android Phone/USB 2.0. Everything works fine, except I can't reach the router remotely. I've set everything up correctly (I think), but I can't reach the router remotely using either the DDNS name the router generates or the public IP. I read somewhere that this may be because the public IP you get with tethering (Sprint) may be shared? Is this the case? If so, is there any way around this so I can reach the router remotely? TIA!

Using a VPN service on the phone may resolve this... very complex tho

yeah, but running VPN on the phone would have sh*tty performance I think......
