Rocketnet and CGNAT

[midasza]

Hi

Friday night internet went down, when it came up the IP was listed as Directel Communication instead of Rocketnet on speedtest. Google tells me that is Rocketnet's holding company. This week I see I have a CGNAT address. Call logged - zero actual answer as to if everyone is on CGNAT, do they provide static addresses or can they put me in a non-cgnat pool.

Has Rocketnet moved to CGNAT only for IPv4? Are there any Rocketnet people here or people on Rocketnet successfully moved off CGNAT?

thanks

I have just logged a ticket for this with them, my VPN not working anymore. Will cancel if they can't supply a public accessible IP anymore

My ticket was closed with zero reply from them, so logged a cancellation request.

I have been super happy with the support I receive from Cool Ideas. You should give them a try.

Agreed - CISP ftw

Yes, will be knocking on their door, I obviously have to give a 30 day calendar month notice, so will only be cancelled end December. Wanted to move away from them in any case

They also do cgnat but they seem to have some sort of process where a restart gets me a good IP again. Not sure if they have some sort of detection for people self hosting stuffs.

All core products are based on having public IPs, if there is an event with a BNG we use CGNAT as an overflow system so at least people will have connectivity in a failure situation.

The best thing about Cool Ideas is that you get a director answering questions at 9pm on a Monday night.

They will give you a public IPv4 address if you willing to pay an additional R50 or so a month. IPv6 is free. CGNAT seems to be a metro fibre thing. Btw this broke my Plex remote streaming and home assistant.
