Hi,

So I recently got Excitel Fiber installed at my place and while going through my network figured out that I was behind a Double NAT / CGNAT. Now this is understandable since IPv4 is limited but since CGNAT is so restrictive, I started searching for ways to circumvent it. Turns out Excitel doesn't give Static IPs and it's not a 1:1 NAT so can't port forward. But I came across a thread here which seemed like it was written by a representative of Excitel (if I'm not wrong).

Excitel Broadband is working on using IPv6 on their network | Excitel Broadband

{offtopic} to @philip marlowe i know that static ips are costly but a solution of some kind is much needed . i can think of two things - 1 - offer opening of ports via registering a request. example - i want to open xyz port . i call/email you guys giving detailed info of the port i want to...

Will IPv6 suffice your needs or particularly IPv4 Public IP is required?

Excitel is working towards IPv6 as this will give basically unlimited Public IPs 🙂

Since it's been around a year and a half now and IPv6 would definitely help me a lot, I was wondering, do we have any updates on this?

Thanks
 
I doubt its gonna happen anytime soon because only a small portion of their users care about having a public IP
 
Well that sucks tbh
I mean my previous ISP was providing Dynamic IPs too but they were all public!
If a local ISP can do that I'm sure Excitel can too

And like, they mentioned they have a plan for IPv6 right, like that post says? So they must have made some progress in that aspect.
Perhaps @philip marlowe themself could update us?
 
Well if you need to bypass it then zerotier can help you.
If you don't want VPN to access the network then use zerotier to route your traffic via a VPS and run a upnp service on the VPS to handle the port forwarding.
The second one does sound like a hassle but it works great once you set it up.
 
Oh yeah I thought about that!
I was using PIA but it seems like it caps at around 75mbps for both OpenVPN and L2TP, which is kinda meh.
Then I thought about using Zerotier and a VPS but then while I can use all other clients, my DVR isn't supported (which is what I want to be able to access mostly) and neither does my router (don't wanna DD-WRT yet since it's in warranty), so that too only helps a little.

Guess I'm just stuck until either IPv6 or Public IPv4s :/
 
You don't necessarily need ZeroTier installed on all your devices, you could just have one always-on ZeroTier capable device which would act as a bridge or router for ZeroTier traffic.
