CGNAT stops you port forwarding, but here’s how to get around it
When the internet was first designed, every device connected to it was supposed to have a unique public-facing IP address, and they did, for a time. But the explosion of internet-connected devices meant a solution was necessary, and Network Address Translation or NAT was born. This essentially translates your router's external IP into your devices' internal IP, fixing the IP address limitations but introducing a few new problems. The thing is, those problems are easily fixable with NAT rules to forward ports into and out of your network, and it would be that simple if your ISP wasn't involved.
