I’m running a full Bitcoin node from my bsement on an Ubuntu Server and I’m trying to help support the Bitcoin network by opening port 8333 for inbound connections. However, I'm using Starlink as my internet provider, and I’ve encountered some challenges with port forwarding due to Starlink's use of CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT).
Has anyone here successfully opened port 8333 on a Starlink network for a Bitcoin node? If so, could you share your approach or any advice on how to bypass CGNAT or configure port forwarding on Starlink?
Here are a few specific questions I have:
Is it possible to get a static IP or public IP with Starlink to make port forwarding work?
Has anyone used VPN or tunneling solutions to work around this limitation with Starlink? If so, which one worked best?
I’d appreciate any tips or guidance from anyone with experience running a Bitcoin node on Starlink!
Thanks in advance!
