Even in this situation, your ISP can port forward to you.

While not universal, some ISPs support PCP, where you can ask for a port mapping to your CGNAT-ed IP and port. They might or might not honor the external port (if it is taken, they obviously cannot), but you will get some hole punched.




> your ISP can port forward to you

But will they? Domestic ISPs are pretty hesitant to offer such, or anything at that manner.


Some do. But when they don't, it is not a fault of CGNAT - which does provide the capability -- but a fault of specific ISP, that's not willing to use it.
