People behind cgnat is probably less likely to seed and thus less likely to get their IP address logged by these outfits. That's just my pet theory though, not sure how to confirm it. Anyone ever heard of someone behind cgnat and still got the love letter?

My ISP uses CGNAT but I have a public static IP from them. 10+ years of heavy usage and not a single letter.

But are you sure you're not sharing that ip with others?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's a public static IP, no one else is on it except for me :)

How do you know?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Idk about the "less likely" demographics. My ISP had static IP until they dropped it for dynamic IP behind a CGNAT, and no longer offered the chance to buy a static IP.

This is a good way to hide, actually. Port forwarding connections are easier to trace long-term. If you make the downloader port forward instead of the uploader, the one who's easily traced is the one who's in less trouble and the real targets stay hidden. But leechers are lazy and won't do that. Some Scene FTPs do this.
