Need way to access NAS behind xg firewall that has 100.77.x.x as ip (as seen from interfaces, but 112.201.x.x from https://www.whatsmyip.org)

Recent changes in my provider prolicy has left me without a public IP address.  Not even a dynamic one.  I've tried calling them up to get it changed to original dynamic IP address setup, but to no avail.  I have a NAS I access via VPN.  I'd like to be able to do it still.  Any workaround?  My nas is Unraid, and it supports Docker.  Are there Docker containers that I can run to direct me to NAS?

  • Looks not good for you mate... 

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

     

    Critics of carrier-grade NAT argue the following aspects:

    • Like any form of NAT, it breaks the end-to-end principle.[5]
    • It has significant security, scalability, and reliability problems, by virtue of being stateful.
    • It makes it impossible to host services.
    • It does not solve the IPv4 address exhaustion problem when a public IP address is needed, such as in web hosting.

     

    I guess you need to figure out a way to workaround this.

    One would be... Pay more money to ISP to get a business contract with Public ip (Or switch the ISP?).

    Another is a little appliance in public hoster setups and build a VPN to this place. 

     

     

    For example: Sophos Home XG in azure. Build a VPN to this place. DNAT the traffic going to Azure. Azure will route traffic through VPN to your XG. 

     

    I am sorry, but both approaches are based on "money spending"...
