I specifically requested (and got) to be outside their CG-NAT. It worked horribly (the ports got reset every other day, and some other customer could have taken the port you wanted at that point) and some applications with ports hardcoded over number 2000 did not work. People with PPTP VPNs could not use them anymore. Plus, enjoy getting banned from things because you share your IPv4 with plenty of strangers.

You specifically requested to be outside their CGNAT, and now look at your CPE, wide open to the WAN.
"Orange's CGNAT, at least better than our compromised CPE" is certainly catchy PR.
Ehm, what?

So you trust the ISP to implement CG-NAT properly when they can’t manage to secure a simple CPE router?
