No, you typically get one publicly routed IP address from your ISP. The local IP address that initiated the connection is not visible to the internet from behind NAT.
- mbreese 13y agoBut it could be conceivable that your public IP is being routed through some one else's public IP/mesh router. I'm not sure how the actual packet flow in this case works, and with a mesh it's unclear how the packets get back to the original router. Everyone can't just be connection g to the same wireless ssid or you wouldn't be able to avoid local faults. So, the mesh would likely be able to distinguish which packets came from which subscriber. Again though, without knowing more about the protocol/mesh they are using, it would be impossible to know.
- andreasvc 13y agoNot really. Consumer ISPs hand out specific IPs to their clients and will only route traffic for those clients. If they'd start accepting arbitrary internet traffic from you you could simply start your own ISP ... So the mesh stuff has to happen behind NAT, on local IPs.
- mbreese 13y agoThis isn't your typical consumer ISP. Since they control the hardware, they could setup the mesh in some interesting ways. I'm not suggesting that they would accept arbitrary internet traffic, but you could see the routers accepting traffic from other peers in the mesh.
