Most internet service providers use the same IP address for multiple users, CGNAT, or Carrier-grade Network Address Translation.

Frequently asked questions
Does Port Forwarding work on CGNAT-enabled routers?
You may face trouble opening ports on a router that performs CGNAT. But with the Port Forwarding add-on, you can change your IP address and automatically open ports behind routers performing CGNAT.
How do I check if my ISP uses Carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT)?
There are a few ways to check if your ISP uses Carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT). One way is to contact your ISP directly and ask them if they use CGNAT. Another way is to use an online tool like “What Is My IP.” This tool will show you your public IP address, which will differ from your private IP address if your ISP uses CGNAT. Finally, you can check your router’s status page to see if it shows a public or private IP address. If it shows a public IP address, your ISP is using CGNAT.
Does port forwarding work with CGNAT?
Yes, port forwarding works with CGNAT (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation). Port forwarding is a technique used to route incoming traffic from the public internet to private devices on the local network. CGNAT is necessary as it helps to mask the IP addresses of these private devices, increasing security and privacy. With port forwarding enabled in your router settings, you can access devices on your local network remotely with an external IP address.
How to bypass CGNAT for port forwarding?
Bypassing CGNAT for port forwarding is possible but can be a challenging task. To do so, you need to use a static IP address instead of the dynamic one issued by your ISP. This will enable you to access the local network remotely with an external IP address as well as bypassing the network address translation (NAT).
What is a CGNAT IP address?
A CGNAT IP address (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation) is an IP address issued by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to a customer. This address allows multiple private devices, such as computers, smartphones and other connected devices on the local network to access the internet at the same time yet remain hidden from public view. It helps protect users’ privacy and security by masking their real IP addresses from any searches online.
What is the purpose of CGNAT?
The purpose of CGNAT (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation) is to provide a layer of security and privacy for connected devices on a local network. It helps mask the real IP addresses from public view and enables ISPs to manage large groups of customers with limited resources available for assigning unique addresses.
Does CGNAT affect speed?
CGNAT (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation) does not typically affect speed, however it can potentially do so if the ISP has a limited number of resources available for assigning unique IP addresses. If this is the case, then CGNAT can lead to slower speeds due to congestion from multiple devices on the local network. However, in most cases CGNAT does not lead to any noticeable changes in connection speed or latency.
What is the port range of CGNAT?
The port range of CGNAT (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation) ranges from 0-65535. It is a 16-bit number, which means there are 65536 ports available for use in total. Each port can be used for different services such as web servers, FTP servers, databases and more. Typically, the first 1024 ports are reserved by the system for specific applications and cannot be used by other services.
