Comment on ISP put me behind NAT
poVoq@slrpnk.net 11 months agoAn 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.

Sorry, but you are using a wrong definition of an internet connection. A internet connection has by definition a unique public IP, otherwise it is only a intranet connection. That has nothing to do with my imagination and I can assure you that I would never pay for a CGNAT connection as most of what I do with my internet connection is not possible with that crap.
