I'm finding more and more that I go to some random website, and get a message about an IP ban. That or a 401 error with no context.

If cgnat keeps scaling, these ip Limiters need to phase out.

This problem would be easy to solve, if only there were some way for a website operator to phase out CGNAT and see a user's 128-bit IP address instead...

The association between IP and user/endpoint is changing, especially with the advent of Apple’s Private Relay, other privacy-protecting proxies, and increased CGNAT.

Website & hosting providers will have to adapt, but right now we’re certainly in a transition state.
