Help with a double NAT issue

Hi all,

I just had a question. Unfortunately I am having a double NAT issue. My isp has a wireless / modem installed we have to use their wireless device for our cable tv but I also have a google WiFi that I use for the rest of my connected devices.

I’m trying to connect remotely using DuckDNS but I can’t seem to get it to work so I assume it’s double NAT. Is there anyway around this without contacting my ISP?

Thanks for any advice!

Have to forward Port 80 & 443 (for SSL) or if you are just wanting to hit HASS port 8123 from your ISP’s modem/router to your Google Wifi Router’s IP. THen in your google wifi router you have to forward port 80 & 443 (For SSL) or 8123 for direct access to your Hass server’s IP. Then you should be able to go to yourdomain.duckdns.org:8123

That’s the problem I’m having, I can’t logon to their modem because they lock it down and won’t give me access. I can’t even change my SSID or Password without calling them first. It’s fustrat but I don’t have any better options where I live.

Then you’re out of luck without a WHOLE lot of work.

You can get a VPS somewhere, and tunnel your traffic over the link via SSH or VPN (optionally using a reverse proxy configuration).

You also might be able to get around it with tor onion service.

Good thinking. I forgot about that.
