  • I had a fun little issue a while back where my isp replaced our fiber modem to one that didn’t allow for port forwarding. The settings were missing but when I set up dmz host on that to allow our equipment to work again, I noticed it was behind some nat in their system. I found out I could call them to get functionality restored for a fee, but instead I plugged in the old box and still keep an external ip with port forwarding enabled and no nat. To be honest the old one has been a lot less stubborn as it doesn’t drop every 10th packet on the network. I switched back about 6 months ago, and I’ve not had any issues, so we’ll see when they call demanding me to plug in the new one. Their explanation for switching systems was that their old one wasn’t powerful enough for gigabit speeds, even though both have interfaces for gigabit sfp. After some testing, the old one was more capable and stable at those speeds. I assume they wanted to switch systems due to some licensing thing, or to get more money from the .5% of people who care about these features.
