Suspicious of playit.gg: any alternatives on a managed network? Anonymous 06/29/2025 (Sun) 17:48:14 No. 23512 >>23532
I am naturally suspicious of playit.gg, what issues exist with using playit.gg instead of port forwarding? Any better alternatives? What is "tunneling" via "port forwarding" in this context? From what little I understand regarding computer networking, I can't port-forward from my apartment complex as opposed to my previous one because my ISP uses a "managed network" where I connect via an indoor access point. There is no router that I can connect to that has a port I can open. I was talking with one of my friends about it who keeps blabbering about "just using playit.gg". I've never looked into it until now, but looking at the website an the bits and pieces of how it supposedly works, I'm suspicious about the speech & privacy concerns associated with a "free" service.
this managed network you are talking about probably is CGNAT, which is pretty much a NAT on the isp instead of the router. there's a previous thread >>22292 (Cross-thread) where someone asked for an alternative to hamachi and was recommended wireguard, though I never used it myself
>>23519 Would Hamachi work for a something like website with a DNS address I own, though?
>>23520 You mean creating a reverse proxy accessible to people without hamachi? No
>>23520 Try using IPv6, which doesn't have CGNAT. In IPv6, everyone has an unique public address and doesn't need port forwarding. Although games don't implement it and are IPv4-only for some reason.
>>23512 (OP) You should ask in the questions thread
