Hello Dale,

On Saturday June 15 2019 23:54, you wrote to me:

 DS> I do not know what you mean by CGNAT?

Carrier Grade NAT.

A technology similar to the NAT that you use in your LAN to share a public IP
address with many devices.

When ISP's run out of IPv4 addresses, they can revert to CGNAT to share one
public address among many subscribers. Those subscribers no longer get a public
address, but an address in a reserved range. 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12,
192.168.0.0/16 or 100.64.0.0/10.

If your ISP does that to you, you no longer can run servers.

I rest my case.


Cheers, Michiel
