Bill,Carrier grade NAT means you aren't issued a Public IP on the WAN interface facing
your ISP. There's a block of IP space (100.64.0.0/10) used for this purpose. CG NAT
exists because of exhaustion of the Global IPv4 space.Yes, this would mean you cannot
control receipt of protocols like: TCP, UDP and importantly for AMPR - IP Protocol No.
4.It sounds like they may have recently implemented this on their customer network. The
ISP can offer their own services because they use their Public IP space on those needed
servers. Another example where they use Global IPs - is on the CG NAT router that connects
you to the Internet.It's possible they now offer a Public IP as an added service. You
could inquire about that.73,LynwoodKB3VWG

Subject: New ISP blocking VoIP
OM,
I humbly request that you help me in any way you can to get around my new ISP blocking
VoIP phone calls. On 9/4/2022, they stopped without warning or justification: both
Callcentric and Hamshack Hotline went dead at the same time.
On Monday, 9/5, I complained to the "Tech Support" number, and I listened to
their employee being told to "Blame it on his router," and then to her doing so.
I told her that wouldn't cut it, and she said she would "reset my modem" and
then
Callcentric came back online. I made a call with my Cisco SIP phone, and talked to my
brother-in-law in Massachusetts for a few minutes, but right after we hanged up, the
Callcentric line was dead again. I complained again, with nothing but gobbledygook and
shaming and finger-pointing to show for it.
The ISP had some flack call me, and he told me that they were doing
"Cee-Gee-NAT," and couldn't map the ports required for Voip. I asked him how
the ISP could offer it's own VoIP service, right on their public-facing website, if
that were
so. He said he'd have to do some more research, and I've never heard back.
Here's a fervent "TIA" for any help you can offer.
73,
