T-Mobile Fiber CGNAT & IPV6 Questions (How Do I Get Support?)
I was just connected to T-Mobile Fiber this weekend and I’m trialing it out. It looks like their fiber service also uses CGNAT (Why?!) which is killing some self hosted appliances that I need for ...
Update:
One of the chat reps told me they don't offer static IP addresses. So that's off the table.
None of the chat reps know anything about the IPV6 settings so I can't get a prefix delegate id from them.
This is frustrating and I'm about done with it. Who wants an Internet service that restricts your usage?
whos router are you using? find a 0-8 year old computer, stick in a second network card or buy a intel dual port network card and load opnsense.
This turns a normal pc into an enterprise grade router. From there i think the only catch was setting ipv6 on lan to "Follow wan", i also seem to remember i set /48 for the prefix delegation but its been a while. The most important part were firewall rules between lan and wan but mostly it just worked. everything on the network had a global (albeit dynamic) ipv6 address.
I also wanted wireguard (vpn) on the same box and the catch there was that wireguard seemed to only listen on the lan side for ipv6. so i had to do a floating firewall rule to let the correct port through to the firewall itself from wan to lan.
if anyone is interested reply here. I dont have tmobile fiber at my new place (yet...wait listed) but i can still vpn back to the old place and check settings. I helped a landlord set it up at one of his by the room rental properties.
