Startup Issue with Sons Of The Forest - Port Problems

Ugh, CGNAT strikes again! It’s like the nemesis of gamers everywhere. :sweat_smile: If your ISP is using CGNAT, that means you’re sharing your external IP with other users, which makes traditional port forwarding… well, problematic.

In this situation, you’ve got a couple of options:

  1. Ask ISP for a Public IP: Sometimes, ISPs can provide you with a dedicated public IP for a fee. Definitely worth asking about this if you haven’t already.

  2. Use a VPN or Proxy: Some VPNs offer port forwarding services. This might let you bypass the ISP’s restrictions. Or you could look into setting up a proxy that supports game traffic.

  3. Cloud Hosting: As a last resort, consider hosting your game server on a cloud service where you have full control over the networking.

Let me know what you think, and we’ll keep brainstorming if needed! :globe_with_meridians:
