This. I had the same situation being put behind CGnat and told them my security webcam needs port forwarding from outside and they had me back to a public IP within minutes.

ISPs in Canada usually include a clause in their TOS that explicitly prohibits selfhosting. Don’t move here, it sucks.

  🫤 that does suck. Probably so they can charge more for a hosted package?

    It’s to push users into getting commercial accounts.

    I dunno. The IPv4 address space is getting pretty tight, and aside from rejiggering existing inefficient allocations, there’s not a lot you can do beyond NAT.
    
    In the US, we had it pretty good for a long time, because we had a rather disproportionate chunk of the IPv4 address space – Ford, MIT, and Apple alone each had their own Class A netblock, about half a percent of the Internet’s address space each, for example.
    
    But things have steadily gotten tighter as more and more of the world uses the Internet more and more.

    As expected, the ISPs are no longer receiving new allotments or allocations of public IPv4 addresses from the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). Some have managed to continue to provide new IPv4 addresses by reallocating some of the addresses they had been assigned in the past but perhaps had never passed on to customers. This buys them a little more time while they scramble to roll out and support IPv6 addresses.

  I don’t know Canada laws but does it only apply if you make money off it (or intend to). Self hosting Jellyfin server is basically just delayed uploading.

    Afaik it’s at the ISP’s digression. Up until I switched, Bell would block ports 21, 22, 53, 80 and 443.

    That’s pretty nice compromise. 80 and 443 are the ones mainly used commercially
