Hello Benny,

CGNAT? Auch.. :-(

I have a prepaid SIM from Lyca Moblie. I get an address in the 10.0.0.0/8 range from them. For my mobile stuff that is acceptable because they are very cheap and I do not run servers on it.

But for my main system this is not acceptable. One can not run servers behind a NAT if one can not control the the port forwading. No servers = crippled internet.

 BP> i wonder why this was not done in the beginning :=)

Because CGNAT is crippled internet. Try to run skype behind two layes of NAT...


Cheers, Michiel
