I have to admit, they have some brilliant offers on, at the moment.

Can somebody give me full tutorial how to bypass CGNAT with two routers i'm on 450mbps package also. I'm using NOKIA router also now with fibre. I also have old asus nt56u can i use it as a second router?.

What are you trying to achieve?

You can't fully bypass CG-NAT, but you can use something like Tailscale for remote access VPN to your home network. If you want to forward ports then you're out of luck.

Using a 2nd router will just add another of NAT that you won't want.

Apologies for resurecting an old thread but I just had JF installed and have their Nokia router in bridge mode, connected to a TP Link mesh systems responsible for routing, DHCP etc.

Has anyone got any information on port blocking by JF? I'm trying to run an OpenVPN server on UDP 1194 but am pretty certain it's blocked by JF. I've also tried 443 and I get the same.

I've got a query in with their tech support at the moment but they're a little slow to respond.

Thanks

AFAIK JurrasicFibre run CGNAT in their network so you won't be able to host inbound connections on IPv4 without either buying a static IP service from them or running an additional outbound tunnel / VPN service

AAaaaah balls. Thanks for your reply - that actually lines up with comments elsewhere and makes sense from my cursory understanding of the difference. When you say running an additional outbound tunnel/vpn service, do you mean using a commercial VPN provider of some sort as a route back to my network?

most of the commercial VPNs don't have static IP, but you could use something like AAISP's L2TP service, (not a VPN as its not encrypted) to solve the problem. Or you could ask Jurassic about static IP for more money.

Yes that's what I'm thinking at the moment. May give them a call and claim I didn't know it was a limitation of their system, see if I can get them to throw in a static IP for a while... Or what they'll outright charge for one.

Currently with Sky but thinking of switching to Jurassic Fibre however i am concerned that i may have issues setting it up with Sky Q and 2 mini hubs. Has anyone done this? If so is it straightforward to set up? will not being able to access the JF router (as others have mentioned) cause problems?
Any info/advice would be much appreciated as i cant seem to find out much info on this. Thanks in advance.

It shouldn't be a problem although if possible connect the main Q box to the router with an ethernet cable. The reason being, the Q box will only connect via wifi to non-Sky routers on the 2.4GHz band which in a congested 2.4GHz area can cause slow downloads.

The procedure is to perform a network reset on the main Q box and then follow the instructions to connect to a non-Sky router. If using ethernet then it should be picked up automatically.

Next, on each mini box, do a network reset and follow the instructions to reconnect the mini to the main box
