I checked on that website you mentioned as well as the Orbi management site and both have the same IP starting with a 204. I don’t see that in the range of IPv4 addresses on the wiki page you linked. That means no double NAT right? No forum on desert iNet. That discussion you found from a couple years ago, that’s interesting. A cursory read through it seems like they set up new equipment and Amazon’s VPN algorithm was erroneously flagging things as VPN. The guy in that Reddit post, who claimed to be a network engineer said as much in his situation too. However, wouldn’t the ISP be ruled out if I can connect into the modem and have it work?
