tplinkdns inconsistent with WAN IP

2022-11-07 04:19:03 - last edited 2022-11-07 05:57:14

Model: Deco X60

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.5.0 Build 20210121 Rel. 54042

I have set up dynamic DNS with tplinkdns but the address is inconsistent with my current WAN IP.

According to the Deco App, my WAN IP is a.b.c.d.

However, if I am using a service such as myipDOTcom, another IP address gets listed (say q.r.s.t), which corresponds to the tplinkdns address resolution.

Now, trying to access services on my network at q.r.s.t fails, but when using a.b.c.d I do get access from "outside".

I am wondering two things: why the WAN IP is different than the apparent external IP, and why only one seems to correctly forward?

@fips, it is very likely your ISP used CG-NAT, shared by one community user:https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/stories/detail/1766
