Edit: Big thanks to everybody who shared their advice! :) I’m very pleasantly surprised and will definitely explore all the options you guys provided, such as getting an additional router or configuring Tailscale. Again, big thanks to everyone!
Hi all, I’ve recently moved and now my ISP doesn’t allow port forwarding for wired connections (wifi only), and my landlord does not allow changing ISPs. Now my home server is practically useless which makes me very sad.
Is there any easy way to still access device ports without port forwarding or buying a wifi card/dongle is my safest bet?
In the US at least, ISPs can force you to use a specific router and software restrict certain functions.
I have AT&T and they do this to me, I just have my own router behind theirs. Might be what OP needs to do.
I knew they provided some “perks” to incentivize using their own router, like free support and compatibility with other junk they push to customers, but actively forcing users should be forbidden.
Do you also have to pay to “rent” the device?
feudalism + capitalism
worst of both worlds
Yeah I have AT&T and had to set up IP passthrough on their router/gateway box. Basically it makes it so the ISP provided router acts as if it isn’t there and my router gets to do whatever it wants.
Just stick a router behind that router?
