There is probably nothing that you can configure to on your router to
make it work.? Your ISP is what is blocking you from running a public
ratflector.? That is what I have been trying to get you to understand.

The instructions in the manual and the video do not deal with your ISP's
configuration.

The instructions only work with this configuration:

PC <> Your Nat router <> ISP <> public Internet

Your configuration is:

PC <> Nat router <> ISP Nat Router <> Public Internet.

The "ISP Nat Router" is what is stopping you.

The port forwarding needs to be set on both NAT routers, or it will not
work.? And you need to check with your ISP to find out if there is any
way to to set the ISP Nat router to forward port 9000.

Looking back at your previous posts, your whatsmyip address is changing
quite a bit.? That indicates their may be multiple ISP NAT routers that
would need to have the port forwarding set up.

So it does not matter what router that you use.? The directions just do
not apply because of how your ISP has set up their network.

What do you want to run a ratflector for?

There are quite a few existing public ratflectors that do not appear to
be heavily used.? Is there any reason that you can not use one of them?

> Mmmmm? I think so, or both companies? do not support port
forwarding??? To much of a coincidence.

They support port forwarding, but it only works if the ISP is not also
using NAT.? As soon as you wrote that the WAN IP address did not match
the whatsmyip reported IP address, as I have replied to you several
times now, those instructions you have been trying to follow are never
going to work.? And it really does not matter how many different router
models that you try.

Again, those instructions do not apply to how your ISP has set up your
connection to the internet.? It does not matter what Nat Router that you
use, or how you configure it.? Your ISP is blocking you from having a
ratflector that is visible on the public internet.

I do not think that a VPN solution will work for you.? You are using
"Cell Phone" internet.? A VPN in simple terms is a NAT router with
encryption.? It does not give you a public IP address for incoming
connections.

VPNs will allow our outgoing traffic to appear at a different public IP,
but you will still need a server at the public IP end to run the ratflector.

A container is like a light weight VM. and should have a lower monthly
fee than a full VM.?? The hosting companies will generally show you how
to set them up.
