    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 shouldn’t 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 aren’t allowed to generate and publish any media of our own.

      The Governments agree with them.

        Nobody finds your public-facing SSH server with a port scanner for a start.

        You don’t give away your public connectable address just by visiting a website.
