If I create a new torrent, does CGNAT (carrier-grade network address translation) prevent me from being an initial seeder of that torrent? I've made test torrents before and noticed that none of them seemed to be downloadable. Seeding the test torrents on a VPS of mine with a public IP has surprisingly worked before.

I can download and upload in my torrent client just fine, so I know my ISP isn't (intentionally) blocking and firewalling torrents.

I know my answer is not what you’re looking for but the other two comments should suffice so

Consider IPv6 if possible

I am actively considering IPv6. But I don't have it yet. Now I'm just waiting for my ISP to consider it :)

Fuck ISPs that insist on keeping you stuck in CGNAT jail without a routable IPV6 prefix!
