  Port forwarding was invented for exactly that

    Hou will you configure the ISP’s NAT router to port-forward? You won’t be able to reach the forwarded port if your ISP doesn’t foward the port as well.

      You can’t, this guy doesn’t know what he’s taking about.

      Port forward behind CGNAT won’t get you out. Best bet here would be ipv6.

      Tor would work. However, only over Tor obviously.

      Aah, ISP’s NAT. Yes, in that context, it’s correct that you can’t port forward.

      Perhaps you can STUN through, but unlikely to get a good port.
