Check your router configuration, if your WAN IP falls within the 100.64.x.x to 100.127.x.x range, you're experiencing CG-NAT and can't resolve the issue without paying, which accounts for the multiple IP bounces you're seeing.
Yes, your IP address is being used by your service provider. You should reach out to them to resolve the issue.
Reach out to them and, in most situations, obtain a public static IPv4 address for payment.
Sure, I hope you can obtain a static public IPv4 address. Some services charge just a few dollars each month, while others restrict you to business class or more costly options.
I considered switching to a static IP address since I switched providers, but the issue persists even after port forwarding. It might be related to the CGNAT configuration.
Yeah, port forwarding isn't reliable with carrier-grade NAT. The ISP would need to handle it themselves, but they usually don't.
I can forward my Minecraft server, but I only use my 100.68.XXX.XXX address to connect. With the Bobcat it doesn’t work, possibly because it’s sending the CNGAT to the app and that app is trying to reach that IP. I’m not sure about the details.
You're connecting from a CG-NAT IP address, which is intentionally hidden from external networks. Your router can still manage NAT reflection locally and direct traffic appropriately while you're inside the LAN.
