With CG-NAT this doesn't work. Multiple customers are sharing the same IP address, all of which are sitting behind a NAT. Further the internet gateway is a NAT sitting behind the CG-NAT. And if you prefer to use a nice Mesh WiFi router, well that's a third NAT layer.
Common suggestions I've heard:
"Use a VPN"
I tried to buy a computer from Apple directly. They detected the VPN and wouldn't let me purchase it. I turned off the VPN and the purchase worked. I then got a call from Apple asking me if I really did intend to buy the computer.
"Use Tailscale"
On my setup, tailscale can't really navigate the NAT setup correctly. I have a 200Mb downlink and I will often only get a 10th of that through tailscale. Also the routing table no longer works as routing is handled by a myriad of netfilter rules -- which may or may not conflict with docker on the same box.
"Use Ubiquiti (or other networking gear) to get rid of the last NAT"
Gah. I didn't need to perform a huge cash outlay 10 years ago and rewiring the house to do the same thing I'm trying to do today.
