CGNAT and iOS notifications

I’m using T-mobile Home Internet which uses CGNAT and has killed my ability to use a VPN into my LAN remotely. Although I get a simple notification from SS still, the notification does not have any previews. Further, the app does not connect to view live images or recordings via remote access either.

Is there a solution anyone has found to get this to work under these conditions? I have heard a service like ZeroTier might be a solution, but hoping there’s some feature in SS that might work to keep things simple. Otherwise, I might have to figure out ZT which sounds a bit complicated to learn.

  • CGNAT makes things complicated for remote access. An easy solution that uses ngrok is described on our blog post here: Remote Access via Mobile/Cellular/Satellite Internet. Unfortunately ngrok have put up their prices significantly recently for a basic account, so we're looking at recommending other options, of which ZeroTier and Packetriot are both possibilities.
