CgNat and IP6

The Flex is advertised as a plug and play device that doesn't require a software engineer degree to install. Well my ISP is cgNAT and will be going to IP6 soon or so they say. Flex does not support either and is pondering doing IP6. Here's the info on CGNat.

Percentage of ISPs Using CGNAT
As of 2016, approximately 28.85% of studied Internet Service Provider (ISP) deployments were utilizing Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT). This technology is particularly prevalent in mobile operator networks, allowing multiple users to share a single public IP address.
Key Points
CGNAT Usage: 28.85% of ISPs
Primary Application: Mobile operator networks
Purpose: To manage IPv4 address exhaustion by allowing many users to share a limited number of public IP addresses
This percentage reflects the growing need for ISPs to efficiently allocate their limited IPv4 resources while transitioning to newer technologies like IPv6.

    I think moving to another software is not the real solution. In my opinion Flex must support IPv6. It is much more important than having a gimmick like the band plan inside the panorama adapter.

    Came here to express my disappointment with the same issue, I have a Maestro that I can not use remotely.
    I have CGNAT (native v6 and v4 as CGNAT) at home and it is the default deployment over here. (unless I carry a VPN appliance as well)

    It's pretty straightforward with TCP/IP v6 which has been around for, what 20 years? and well over 10 years in wide deployments. It's a bummer that the "king of remote" is making this so painful.
    Please fix this and make IPv6 a 1st class citizen,

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph.
