T-Mobile Home Internet doesn't support port Forwarding, any workaround?

Post by GEPP3N03 »

Hi there,

I recently got my Dreamcast online again and while setting up the connection, I noticed that my ISP (T-Mobile 5G Home Internet) doesn't support port Forwarding or DMZ configuration. I read that It has something to do with the fact that the router uses ipv6 rather than ipv4 settings, so I doubt I would be able to change that. Is there some kind of workaround so I can play every Dreamcast game?
