What is CGNAT?

Have you ever noticed that your router has a WAN IP address, but it's different from the public IP shown by websites like "What Is My IP"?

Since IPv4 addresses are limited, ISPs allow multiple customers to share the same public IP address. #networking #cgnat #ipv4 #internet #computernetworks #networkengineer #technology
