Fantasy Grounds Classic Connections Explained

I have read several of the threads in the forum before posting and tried Hamachi already.
Don't works, it's easy to use and install, i created my profile, my network, my players login but can't log in FG nor ping me in Hamachi
They appear as "blocked" to me in Hamachi and if run a diagnose you can imagine what it says, ports are closed.
It looks like the only option is keep being a jerk with the ISP support team
Could be this a way to force their users to get the fixed IP package?

[damned]

If you want to send me your Hamachi details by PM and I can test with you. Im damned#0166 in Discord

Many European countries have exhausted their available IPv4 addresses and are forced to do this.
I suppose its possible some are doing it to raise some additional revenue...

How much is the fixed IP address package?

It seems is a matter of being annoying with their tech service.
I got a guy on the phone that was a bit more proactive and emphatic than the previous. He confirmed a few things:
- Right they do carrier grade NAT
- They (IT Support) are not allowed to do port fowarding for consumer
- If you want to do so you should get the fix IP (29DKK per month= 6AUD) get your own router and ask them to set the fiber box in bridge mode
After 10 days of phone calls its the first time got an answer that makes sense.
In my country that would be a great reason to change ISP asap, but here I have to deal with what I have
Any advice about a good router for home use?

You should ask your ISP for what models they recommend. They will likely have some recommendations.
There are soooooo many routers out there.

Maybe you should look at Hamachi in the meantime. Unity is getting closer.... much closer....

[Jaume]

I did ask them, best routers? icotera, of course! national brand, there can be any better?
The support guy said even with fixed IP Hamachi is not gonna work until the fiber box is bridged
On the meantime thanks a lot Damned for the quick replies

[damned]

I would try it...

[Trenloe]

Yep, try Hamachi - it gets around the issues we’ve been discussing.

[damned]

Sorry - it does appear you tried Hamachi. It is unusual for a network provider to be blocking Hamachi.

Guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
