Your solution to accessing and forwarding ports behind CGNAT

CGNAT (Carrier Grade NAT) can cause issues when trying to open ports on a router because it essentially creates a private network behind another private network. This means that devices on the network are not directly accessible from the internet, making it difficult to open ports and configure port forwarding.

The techniques are usually performed by your ISPs so that they could conserve their bandwidth and be functional for many consumers. The routers are assigned different IPs which are later translated to public IP to pass through the CGNAT gateway before it is routed to the internet..

Accessing ports behind CGNAT is complicated, and can also put you in trouble if you try to bypass the restriction. Your IP can be banned and you might experience being exposed to digital threats. Also, ISPs might charge you extra if you need to access ports behind CGNAT.

This could cater off with a simple click.
