To get around the CGNAT issue, you can use the Port Forwarding add-on to bypass this problem and port forward routers without hassle.
Here’s more information on how to use PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on and bypass CGNAT in a few clicks.

To most people, port forwarding is quite a demanding task. For starters, every router has a different console, which often makes it difficult to navigate to specific settings.
Secondly, you won’t always be able to open Lineage ports on your router if your ISP restricts the ports. Yes, you heard that right! ISPs are notorious for blocking ports due to security reasons. If ISP isn’t the reason behind a blocked port, then perhaps it could be your operating system’s firewall.
Well, you can eliminate all these problems and enjoy smooth online gaming on all your desired systems with PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on. Through the port forwarding add-on, you can allow all ports, disallow all ports, and allow specific ports.
First, you need to determine your router’s IP address. To do this, open a web browser and type “what is my ip” into the search bar. Your router’s IP address will be listed next to “Default Gateway.”
Next, log in to your router by entering the Default Gateway into a web browser followed by a “/admin” after it (e.g. 192.168.1.1/admin).
Once you are logged in, find the port forwarding section of your router and create a new port forwarding rule. In the rule’s name field, put “Fortnite.” In the port field, put in the port you want to forward (e.g. UDP: 88). In the IP address field, put in your computer’s IP address (which you can find by typing “what is my ip” into a web browser). Save your changes and exit your router’s admin page.
You should now be able to open Fortnite on your computer and play it using the port you forwarded!
