ISPs putting you behind NAT is not cozy.

They charge extra for a feature called "static IP". But the IP address not being static is not the issue, for me at least. You could host stuff with a dynamic IP back in 2000s/2010s. But no, now you get to share the same IPv4 address with a bunch of other households, unless you pay extra.

Ha, yeah that sucks and I'd absolutely hate it if I were behind a CGNAT. But I believe most ISPs don't do that. None of mine ever have. Just like how most ISPs provide you with an ipv6 address range, but not all. Fact is that crappy ISPs can screw up your network no matter what ip spec you're using.

And I've never heard of a business network being behind an ISP controlled CGNAT. A NAT you control can be nice.
