Comment on Selfhosting static site behind two routers?
just_another_person@lemmy.world 3 days agoThe actual cable modem can run in passthrough mode though. Look up the model and find the docs. Should be a quick and easy change, or your ISP at least should able to change it. It would be absurd if not.

the ISP locked their router. I have to go the the ISP’s site, login and change settings there… can’t even change DNS on ISP-router.

That’s a bummer. Have you asked them about running it in passthrough mode?

No I haven’t. First i got to educate myself what these different modes are…

Passthrough in this sense just means that the ISP cable modem only acts as a modem, handing off all traffic to your router to control. Essentially it just disabled NAT so you won’t have double-NAT’ing happening. It’s a standard setting on all cable modems, so I know that part is possible, but it’s more about getting your ISP to enable that if they have it locked.
