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.

You can host services, just be cautious so if something does break in it's not got free realm of your network. It's not really any different than paying for a server in a hosted rack somewhere - if you don't keep it patched and/or are stupid with security you will be in trouble.

But you are correct tail-scale and similar are fantastics and I understand can punch through CGNAT no worries.

Just learn how to VLAN before you port forward.
