Online gaming on tethering

ChillyElmo

Hi I'm Trying to play Call of Duty online. It accesses the game no problem but won't load any further:

 

Unable to access online features 

 

I have taken the parental block off. What could be causing this? I was with bt and it worked fine. My girlfriend is with ee and it works when she tethers me

Hi @ChillyElmo

Welcome to the community.

The EE Mobile data network uses dynamic IP, which could be affecting your connection type. I've seen people mention in the community that changing from IPv6 to IPv4 can help.

You may be up against a limitation of EE's mobile network. The EE mobile network uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) resulting in a double NAT, which means that you don't get your own public IP address but share it with other users. So you can't be uniquely id'ed on the Net & therefore your LAN cannot be addressed from outside for unsolicited accesses. This is unlike fixed BB.

 

If that's the case there is nowt you can do to avoid it.

I've read that before my girlfriend is with ee and it works fine on her phone. I was also with bt previously who are for all intents and purpose ee. There must be something that can be done
