• So it seems Community Fibre uses CGNAT which screws up port forwarding. Plex is the main problem here but I've got a few other things too.

    Any suggestions how to get around this (equipment includes, but is not limited to, a Unifi router, an always-on PC, tailscale and a raspberry pi 4)? Looking for a solution that is invisible at the other end.

    All stuff I can find online seem to be just a list of solutions but with no detail on how to actually put them into action so if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

  • Apparently the 3gig service doesn't. Perhaps upgrade to that. An alternative would be to get a VM somewhere on the Internet and tunnel put to that to route incoming connections that way which is a bit of a PITA and also not free.

  • Ionos have a £1.20 per month VPS (so not free, but is cheap). The only real issue is needing to spin up another instance every now and then, as cloudflare is an arsehole.

  • The 3 gig service is almost double the price and I don't have anything that can make use of that speed.

    @TW I keep seeing references to setting up a VPS and £1.20 a month is fine but struggling to find a dummies guide for it.
