I just moved from BipPipe where I had fixed IP to 2D where I didn't for that thinking for the limited times I needed the fixed IP I couild use a dynamic DNS service. This is for a web camera that I cannot get working with a portal so I have always just pointed my browser to my external IP and routed traffic to that camera's internal IP with a logon/pw.

I tried using my new IP address but it won't resolve so I am wondering my new exernal IP 151.210.167.xxx is an address that is really resolvable but a sort of NAT address? So if I can't fix my camera to not have to use an external IP I might have to ask 2D for an external IP

Hi what IP address is showing in the router interface, if it's 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255 then it's cg-nat, ignore what google reports.

If it's cg-nat then you will never be able to port forward to it.

More importantly, port forwarding to a camera is asking for trouble, I recommend you find another way, what brand is the camera.

Edit, 2d can do a public IP for you but as I recall it's $10/month, getting the cloud connect working for the camera is the best bet

That camera is end of life anyway and if you had port forwarded to it I would consider it compromised and bin it. Cameras are not supposed to be port forwarded to.

I would recommend Eufy or Ring as a product that'll work behind CG-NAT and are secure / trouble free. I have Eufy cameras installed at my parents place and they find them awesome.
