What is CGNAT?

CGNAT (Carrier-grade Network Address Translation) is a two-state NAT technology used by Internet service providers (ISPs) to extend the life of their existing IPV4 infrastructure as they transition to the new IPV6 protocol. CGNAT allows multiple users on an IPV4 network to share a single public IP address. It is also known as large scale NAT (LSN).

Further, CGNAT is a solution for ISPs who want to keep using their current IPV4 infrastructure while still providing service to customers who are using the new IPV6 protocol. CGNAT allows multiple users on an IPV4 network to share a single public IP address. This means that each user has a private IP address that’s translated to a public IP address when they connect to the internet. 

Why is Port Forwarding an issue on CGNAT?

One of the main reasons Port Forwarding can be a problem is that many ISPs use Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) to conserve IP addresses. Your ISP assigns a single IP address to multiple customers, and those customers rely on the same IP address.
