CGNAT - What is it?
CGNAT stands for Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation. It's a method that allows multiple users to share a single public IP address.
How CGNAT Works:
- Private IP Addresses: Devices in your home (like phones, tablets, and computers) are assigned private IP addresses by your home router.
- Shared Public IP: When your devices connect to the internet, the home router uses a single public IP address to communicate with the internet. CGNAT extends this idea to the ISP level.
- ISP-Level Translation: The ISP uses CGNAT to assign one public IP address to multiple customers. Each customer has a unique private IP address within their local network, but they share a public IP with other customers.
You will be assigned this IP address if your speed package is less than or equal to 2.5 Gbps (not including 2.5 Gbps Premium).
