Why must our internet infrastructure be so fucked.
Just ran into my first issue with CGNAT last night when my Minecraft server stopped being contactable after my ISP moved me from a publicly routable IP to one behind CGNAT. I feel you wholeheartedly, imo if I want to host something, there shouldnβt be any higher barrier to entry than a simple port forward.
You may want to check your telcos agreement on that.
As far as the Telcos are concerned, we all need to happy little consumers of media.
We arenβt allowed to generate and publish any media of our own.
The Governments agree with them.
Yeah once I figured out what happened I did check the agreement and saw that I was completely at their whim with no recourse (MATE internet if anyone is curious). So at this point Iβm shopping around ISPs that allow for a static routable IP, if anyone has any recommendations then let me know. Looking for 250/25 or better when it comes to speed
While I donβt have an official static IP with iiNet NBN, I donβt remember the last time it changed. Itβs been at least 18 months on the same IP. They also allow you to open up remote access ports on your link (they block all the common ports by default) via their toolbox interface.
You might be able to manually enable IPv6 in Optusβ APN.
My Telstra eSIM didnβt automatically enable IPv6, when my physical SIM did, but enabling it in the telstra.wap APN fixed it.
Optus ipv6 is still next to non-existent from what I recall, even on home NBN networks. Even TPG/Vodafone are starting to roll it out, although it hasnβt reached the MVNOs like Kogan yet.
EDIT: They might be finally rolling out ipv6 on their network going by this whirlpool thread
Satellite and Mobile are both pretty bad options for hosting.
Have you looked at tailscale or CloudFlare zerotrust to allow access to your server?
Well I donβt want my server hardware somewhere I donβt control (kinda half the point of self hosting). That leaves me with the choice of ADSL or starlink (one is multiple orders of magnitude faster with multiple order of magnitude lower ping). I use mobile on my phone to access my services when Iβm not at home.
Tailscale is basically just a VPN but it requires an ipv4 introduction point.
wut? My IP is hella cucked behind cgnat and I use tailscale with no worries
So ur using a public tailscale introduction point. I donβt like the idea of that but I guess I might have to.
Starlink isnβt our infrastructure.
