So under unavoidable circumstances, I had to switch to a different ISP and was given a different router (AGAIN!) and of course port forwarding doesn't work and I can't host ZDoom games. After some extensive searching and reading actual customer experiences regarding port forwarding with this ISP, it seems that the only way is for me to contact the ISP to "request a public IP" (I don't really know what that is but, okay?).
Now before I go ahead and do this... nevermind the fact that this is inconvenient because customer service on the phone is always shitty and the best way to get anything done is to physically go to their service center which is right in the middle of the city... is this really necessary? I didn't have to do this before with my previous ISP and router and I was able to host ZDoom games and port forward without problems.
Got any advice?
