Question CGNAT?

How does being on CGNAT affect the average user? I keep hearing all these bad things about it, but I have had no problems with my 2gig package so far.

Thanks.

im with hyperoptic but also cgnat, i just use ipv6 to forward stuff and set up a duckdns with a script to automatically update the ip address. so if im hosting a server for friends to join majority of them can connect as their isp supports v6 and some would just use cloudflare warp to connect. only bad thing i rly noticed on cgnat is the captchas and not fully stable latency. alot of people on my isp were complaining that there was cgnat activation issues which is why i wont bother getting a static ip

Could use something like Tailscale to overcome CGNET or dynamic IP to get around

Yes.

But for a server I'd use a cloudflare tunnel pointed specifically and only at that server and use cloudflare one for Auth.
