- jasode 7y ago>When I say NAT I mean CG-NAT implemented by ISP. Are there any reliable statistics on how widely deployed carrier grade NAT to residences is? A cursory google search[1] doesn't reveal the data. Also, the top search result of ServerFault Q&A[2] has some speculation but no definitive statistical answer. As an anecdote of 1, I've never personally experienced CG-NAT in 20+ years of residential internet use. I'm in the USA and have had various ISP service from AT&T DSL, Comcast coax, and Verizon FiOS and the ip addresses assigned to the WAN port of the routers were always the public ip visible on the internet. I'm guessing CG-NAT is more prevalent on mobile phones or smaller ISPs. (But most smartphone users wouldn't want to run battery-draining decentralized server software on their mobile devices so CG-NAT wouldn't really be the barrier in that scenario.)

- rohan1024 7y agoThis might be region specific in that case. Over the years I've also switched multiple ISPs, not single one of them was without CG-NAT. I'm in India. It might have to do with subscriber base and available IPs.
- alias_neo 7y agoMy UK ISP (Hyperoptic) _only_ offers CG-NAT for IPv4 unless you buy an IPv4 address (by buy, I mean rent) but they do also give you a nice big IPv6 range, so you could use that (I host my one and only home hosted service on IPv6).
