Description

Running a home staking node behind CGNAT presents real challenges for peer-to-peer connectivity, limiting inbound connections and weakening network participation. This setup is increasingly common across Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Africa, and is steadily expanding into Europe and North America. This talk explains why CGNAT creates peering issues at both the consensus and execution layers, and how dual-stack (IPv4 + IPv6) connectivity provides a practical and effective solution. It covers the current state of client support, highlighting implementations that work well today, and walks through how home stakers can set up dual-stack networking to improve peer connectivity and resilience.
