The NAT situation

A brief archaeological dig through accidental network architecture.

NAT 1

operational

Sky Broadband ISP Modem

The one that came with the internet. I didn't ask for it. It just showed up.

operational

Google Nest Wifi (4 Units)

I bought mesh wifi for coverage. I got a second NAT for free. Nobody warned me.

degraded

TP Link Deco BE25

At this point I'm collecting them. This one was an accident. They're all accidents.

Packets from the internet traverse 3 NATs to reach my Jellyfin server.

This is why I use Cloudflare Tunnels.

I did not design this network. It happened to me.
