  1. If you're unconnectable due to CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT), your options are more limited because your ISP is assigning you a shared public IP address, making it impossible to open ports directly. However, you still have some workarounds:
  2.  
  3. 1. Use a VPN with Port Forwarding (Best Option)
  4. - Some VPN providers offer port forwarding, which lets you receive incoming connections even behind CGNAT.
  5. - Recommended VPNs with port forwarding:
  6. - AirVPN
  7. - Mullvad
  8. - PIA (Private Internet Access) (only certain servers)
  9. - In your torrent client, configure it to use the forwarded port from the VPN.
  10.  
  11. 2. Use a Seedbox
  12. - A seedbox is a remote server that downloads torrents for you and allows you to transfer files via FTP or WebDAV.
  13. - Since seedboxes have public IPs, they are always connectable.
  14. - Downside: Costs money, but great for private trackers.
  15.  
  16. 3. Request a Public IP from Your ISP
  17. - Some ISPs allow you to opt out of CGNAT and get a public IPv4 address (sometimes for free, sometimes for a small fee).
  18. - Call your ISP and ask if they offer this option.
  19.  
  20. 4. Switch to IPv6 Torrents
  21. - If your tracker and peers support IPv6, and your ISP provides you with an IPv6 address, you can be connectable that way.
  22. - Enable IPv6 support in your torrent client and test if you can receive incoming connections.
  23.  
  24. 5. Change ISP or Use a 4G/5G Router with a Public IP
  25. - If your ISP doesn't offer public IPs, switching to another provider may be the only option.
  26. - Some mobile ISPs offer public IPs with premium plans.

  30. TL;DR - Best Solutions Ranked
  31. 1. VPN with port forwarding (best balance of cost & effectiveness)
  32. 2. Seedbox (if you want an easy, premium solution)
  33. 3. Request a public IP from ISP (free or small fee if available)
  34. 4. Use IPv6 torrents (only if your ISP supports it)
  35. 5. Change ISP (last resort)
