T3200M Minecraft port forwarding
Hey, I have a Telus T3200M, trying to run a MC server on port 25565, also tried 64829. I've been at this for over 20 hours, no joke, after work every day since Monday. I cannot for the life of ...
Ages ago I grabbed the list of ports for minecraft from portforward.com, whether those extra UDP ports are required today or not, I haven't checked.
With your WAN address being 100.82 it means your connection is being natted. In this case, known as CGNAT or NAT444 meaning you aren't able to port forward. It's like having a router plugged into your router, but in this case telus has put your router(modem) behind their router.
You have a few options to deal with this;
1) Do nothing and just live with not being able to port forward or host anything.
2) Get a VPS somewhere and use wireguard to tunnel (thereby forward ports) to a computer on your network.
3) Try this: https://forum.telus.com/t5/Internet-Home-Phone/WAN-IP-is-not-a-true-public-IP/m-p/112967#M27464
If you go for option 3 good luck and be patient with your agent, they'll likely have no idea what you're talking about.

Community Power UserTelus has never blocked all ports. There's a very short list of them that are blocked. See list here.
I have been able to open some ports on my T3200M but not all. As a test I did previously I tried opening 4 specific ports that are related to two different servers I decided to test. Web server worked fine on a custom port (80 is blocked). The other server I tried, I could open two of the three ports needed to get it to work. I'm not sure why the one port didn't work. I have not tried Minecraft yet.
One item to keep in mind. If you are able to get a port open, you won't be able to connect to yourself using the external IP. LAN IP will work but WAN IP will only work if accessing it from another connection and IP, if the ports are open and forward correctly.
The server is on WAN, but I'm using other computers, with different IP's to attempt the connection.
