ISP put me behind NAT (lemmy.world)

I'm connected via a 4G modem. Got this setup about 3 years ago. In the beginning it was enough to look for the public IP (what's my IP). The modem showed some sort of private ip in the ui. I'm running stuff at home (Homeassistant, Gitea,) and bought a domain and pointed it to my home IP via Cloudflare. After some time I've noticed my modem shows the public IP also internally. For about 2 years now it ran flawlessly, the IP changed from time to time, but not really more than once in several weeks. For about a week all stopped working and the modem shows IP 100.xxxx and outside 85.something I guess I'm behind NAT now. Normal port forwarding on the modem is useless now. Is it possible to open the ports via UPNP? I've tried via miniupnp from my Ubuntu server, but it just throws an error.

upnpc -a ifconfig enp1s0| grep "inet addr" | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1 22 22 TCP

Can I use this to somehow open the ports via UPNP on my modem and bypass the blocking? I can't even OpenVPN to my modem anymore.

EDIT: i also run AdguardHome, that I use as Private DNS on my Android phone

UPDATE: everything except Adguard Home used as Private DND on my Android works! I've used this: https://github.com/mochman/Bypass_CGNAT/wiki/Oracle-Cloud-(Automatic-Installer-Script) - free Oracle VPS + automated well described script. Even HTTPS works fine!

There is nothing wrong with an organization sharing an single IPv4 internally via NAT, but if your ISP sells you a connection to the internet, this by definition means you get a unique public IP address, otherwise it isn't an internet connection.

IPv6 support could be better for sure, but it is still much better than not having an internet connection at all as in the case of a CGNAT.

CGNAT usually only applies to the IPv4. The IPv6 prefix you get is usually public.

"Usually"? In my experience usually this is not the case. Starlink for example promised to make ipv6 available like that, but AFAIK it is still CGNAT only.

I can only talk how it is in Germany, where CGNAT with a public IPv6 prefix is the norm and a public IPv4 costs extra money unless you have a legacy contract.

In addition this also depends on the ISP.

I have experience with Vodafone, Deutsche Glasfaser and Unitymedia and they all did it like this. It also might depend on the state.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Kinda expected that.
Vodafone usually does DS-Lite tunnel
Deutsche Glasfaser is a new player so CG-Nat was to be expected.
