Silknet & Carrier-Grade NAT

[wjs]

I am curious what others are seeing as their WAN IP address on their Silknet-provided routers?

As far as I can tell, Silknet transitioned to carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT) around the beginning of September, and now most users receive an IP address in the 100.64.0.0-100.127.255.255 range, which are not explicitly accessible from the public Internet. This has been true for customers on Magti's network for some time, and now it seems to be true for Silknet customers as well. Does anyone still have a WAN IP address outside of this range? If so, what did you do to get that, and do you pay extra for it?

i'm not sure about new users, but i still have old ip 188.169.xx.xx port forwarding also works in router, not sure about extra payment for real ip IP address, i think silknet don't provide this kind of service, at least it is not in their website, but magti has 20 lari per month if you need real ip 

Real IP:
The cost of Real IP service is 20 (30 days).
This fee is added to the main subscription fee.

Thanks Giorgi. Just to confirm, on the "Interface Setup" page in your router web interface, under "Encapsulation > ISP," you have "Dynamic ISP Address" selected, yes?

It seems most Silknet customers in my part of the country have already been moved behind CGNAT, but some lucky folks may not have been moved yet. Enjoy it while it lasts, I suppose?

yes ISP in Dynamic IP Address, i have my ip i think more than 5 years, it hasn't changed, probably some older costumers remain with real ip, new ones not so lucky, but they don't have 20 lari service yet for real ip address, might add as well in the future:

Additional services:
