Ping blocked on fiber

I am trying to debug some connection and disabled the blocking ping feature on the router. This actually works from local network so after disabling the block pinging the WAN IP works from local net...

    Has nothing to do with blocking ping. You are on CGNAT. You will NOT be able to ping / connect from outside the home because your router isn't directly exposed to the internet. Search the forums for CGNAT. This is not a new thing.

I used to have an inbound VPN setup for PPTP this worked great until I was upgraded to fiber.
The tech person also changed the router with a similar one, I guess newer frm.
There are not so many setup options, just application forwarding -> PPTP -> VPN server (nat)

Any idea what should I request from Telus? Their support is useless....
