This is true. Your options look like:
1. Get a new ISP
2. Get a VPN that supplies you with a public IP (these exist)
3. Hope you can do whatever you need on IPv6 instead
- tomatocracy 6y agoSome CGNAT ISPs will also sell service with a public IPv4 for a premium. That's probably the most "user-friendly" option but it's also probably something they don't advertise and you need to ask for explicitly, if offered.
