Shapenz: I can’t PM you the result page for some reason but I can confirm IP Chicken shows the same external IP address

OK, well there is no CGNAT involved then.

I can tell you now - there is. I can see multiple people from Geekzone logging in via the same IP. It is CGNAT with a configuration issue it seems.

So, the MR is CGNATing the path to geekzone (domestic) but not to ipchicken, well that's bad!

MyRepublic in Chch.

IP Chicken address: 101.100.131.xxx

ASUS router WAN address: 10.11.140.xxx

So CGNAT used here.

No, not even that.

I suspect the OP has been given a "static IP" from the CG-NAT pool or has dropped back to CG-NAT during the move. There is no static IP here.

The OP confirmed that the external 101 (not 100) address on his router matched the one on ipchicken, so that network path is not being natted.

What I am saying is that external 101 IP address is indeed CG-NAT.

That, and there are about 30 users on here all logging in with the same IP address. Smells like proper CG-NAT to me with a configuration issue to hand this IP out to the OP as a "Static IP".

I understand that you are saying the IP is from a range MR has indicated will be used for cgnat, but that does not mean that they are actually using all those IP's in a cgnat pool. If the OP is getting a public IP (like the 101) on his external interface but it is being translated to another public IP still then that is messed up. He has said however that that public ip is being identified by ipchicken as being the IP it sees, so that path in particular is not being natted even if the whois for it indicates its from a pool designated for use with cgnat. Apnic records are rarely updated by ISP's in my experience (and being guilty of being said person not updating them).

Sorry guys my fault for misunderstanding the question.

Ipchicken shows the same external address as Plex reports.

The DHCP allocated WAN address in the router is completely different (10.11......)

Sorry to lead you astray @noroad

I’ve seen the info through to MR to sort out anyway so hopefully they can fix their muck up.

Thanks for all the help!

So that confirms it, you don't have a public IP address.

Helps to double check your getting your ip from the right place :)

I was considering asking if amplify did something silly like pulling from a site.

Just to be clear plex does call out to check the external ip. That's why it was the same.

Myrp really should use the cgnat range on your wan interface though...

Yea, it's pretty bad form using RFC1918 addresses on CGNAT services instead of the dedicated 100.64.0.0/10 range. That is really asking for hard to diagnose conflicts for no good reason.

All sorted now - took a couple of days and a bit of mucking around running tests and plugging / un-plugging things as suggested - but it's all fixed now.

They said "Seems to have been a DDoS on the old IP address" - kinda weird that it happened at the same time as I moved houses but who am I to question the internet......

I'm surprised they didn't blame it on a solar flare.
