But, generally speaking, mobile providers don't like letting people run servers on their connections. And mobile connections tend to be network managed a lot more than wired connections (throttling connections during peak usage). I have T-mobile through Ting on my cell phone. AFAICT, T-mobile doesn't use CGNAT. At the very least they should be giving you a proper IPv6 address so CGNAT on IPv4 can be worked around through IPv6. I don't know if you have a data cap, but keep that in mind. Video consumes a lot more data than you think.
Thanks for the reply! Data cap-wise, I changed the IMEI and some other stuff on the router/hotspot so that the SIM thinks the hotspot is a phone, so the cap isn't there. Still throttled speeds at a certain point, but no cap, luckily. Yeah, so the hard drives and whatnot are on my PC, locally. I do have a VPS & domain name that I use so I can tell people to go to "jellyfin.website.com" instead of giving my IP out, if that could help at all. "should be giving you a proper IPv6 address so CGNAT on IPv4 can be worked around through IPv6." How exactly does this work, and what's the benefit?
While on the topic, do you know if a Xfinity hotspot (that you need to login to a Comcast account to use) could be used? Had the same issue using that, and would prefer to use that if possible so we don't eat our own mobile data up.
