That's not true in all cases. When I use ip pass thru I get a live routable internet ip from my carrier. My understanding of cgnat is that it functions the same as nat, in that it tries to translate a private ip to a public one. So I am not sure that I understand what you are talking about.
I was referring to Telstra in this case. As to what I was referring to : the IP is useless for inbound traffic. You couldn’t use it to expose services on your IP because it isn’t yours. A topical reason for wanting the IP is for DDNS to potentially expose services. My experience is this is impossible with Telstra 5G (or 4G).
- Gotcha! This makes sense! Thanks for that.
Kind regards.
