Re: WAN IP is not a true public IP
Sorry, but it's a non-routable private IP address for carrier grade NAT: Private IP-address Private internal addresses are not routed on the Internet and no traffic cannot be sent to them from the Internet, they only supposed to work within the local network. Private addresses include IP addresses from the following subnets: Range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 — a 10.0.0.0 network with a 255.0.0.0 or an /8 (8-bit) mask Range from 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 — a 172.16.0.0 network with a 255.240.0.0 (or a 12-bit) mask A 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 range, which is a 192.168.0.0 network masked by 255.255.0.0 or /16 A special range 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255 with a 255.192.0.0 or /10 network mask; this subnet is recommended according to rfc6598 for use as an address pool for CGN (Carrier-Grade NAT) The modem indicates 100.80.x.x as its WAN IP address, but the external IP address is 209.121.229.41. NAT does not seem to happen from the external IP to the "WAN" address of the modem = can't connect from outside. I used to have that external connectivity, but not since moving. Any way around that? Alternatively I could use the IPV6 address of my computer but that too is not working to connect from the outside. Thanks.17KViews1like3CommentsWAN IP is not a true public IP
Hello, my modem is getting a WAN IP that is not truly public: 100.80.xxx.xxx, I used to have a true public IP. Is there a way to get Telus to give me a real public IP so I can connect to my network from the outside? I am quite sure I used to have a true public IP until a recent move (keeping the same modem).Solved17KViews2likes6Comments
