CGNAT is hell. Here I had to choose between crap bandwidth or CGNAT. I chose crap bandwidth.
CGNAT is completely irrelevant to the average person. It’s only an issue if you expect others to connect to you, which is something that almost all people don’t need. (inb4 but the internet was made to receive connections! Well yes, decades ago maybe. But that’s not the way things have evolved. Get with the times.)
Full IPv6 support should be a requirement for both ISPs as well as websites and other servers.

Hell for hosting, but if you're doing adversarial interoperability as a client, it does help you avoid being IP-banned. (At least in Western countries. I hear that Africa and Latin America tend to just get their CGNAT gateways banned because site operators don't give a shit about whether users from those regions can use their sites)

Cloudflare sometimes preventing access to some sites and annoying CAPTCHA challenges due to CGNAT are relevant to the average person. Full IPv6 support should be a requirement for both ISPs as well as websites and other servers.
They would be, but thankfully CGNAT doesn’t cause that.
This and the comments highlight how bad many ISPs in North America and Western Europe are at IPv6, still , in 2025, and the lengths to which people will go to treat that as damage and literally route around it. One of the biggest ISPs in my country has been promising IPv6 since 2016. Another, smaller, competitor, advertised on "World IPv6 Day" in 2011 that it was way ahead of the competition on supplying IPv6; but in…
> Heath Robinson contraption Ah, I see you also watched that video yesterday on manufacturing a tiny electric rotor.
The vps and each host are each nebula nodes. I can put the nodes wherever i want. Some are on an additional vps, some are running on proxmox locally. I even have one application running as a geo-isolated and redundant application on a small computer at my friend’s house in another state.

That doesn't work well if you want to run the same service on multiple machines. For some you can proxy that (eg, for web you can just run nginx to proxy everything based on either the host header or SNI data), but for others you can't - you're only going to be able to have one machine accepting port 22 traffic for ssh.
You can port forward SSH to other internal machines, just like nginx + web.
Seriously thinking about switching to a setup similar to the article. I mean, my setup works for now, but it's un-pretty.
Another alternative could be a cloudflare tunnel. It requires installing their Daemon on the server and setting up DNS in their control panel. No ports need opening from the outside in.
Works like magic :)
