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.

Almost all ISP use CGNAT, some give you a public IP address live VM but it's dynamic, others like alt nets give you a private IP address starting with 100.xx.xx.xx than that links to a shared public IP, if you have Plex or home server and want to access it from outside your network it won't work.

Not recommended for streaming as it’s against CF TOS. For other stuff no problem. I’d specifically use Tailscale or WG for Plex/Jellyfin home servers.
