Comment on ISP put me behind NAT
DoomBot5@lemmy.world 11 months agoNo it doesn’t. It means you have access to the internet through that company’s infrastructure. You still have full access to the internet behind a CGNAT even if you can’t be reached directly from the internet.

An internet connection by definition is two-way. The internet was designed as a network of interconnected computers. A one-way only connection like a CGNAT is preventing you from doing a lot of things the internet was designed for.

You have a 2 way connection as facilitated by the CGNAT gateway that routes responses back to your network.

If you have no unique public IP there are a lot of things you can’t do, so it isn’t a true two way connection.

No, it just doesn’t fit in your imagination, but it is a 2 way connection by definition. It’s also everything the ISP promises when they give you an internet connection.
