I hope that explaination makes it kinda clear. Using the VPN you wont have to worry about DS-Lite or portforwarding anymore as your new public IP address will be a reachable IP4 adress and the "VPN-Connection/tunnel" will just forward the data for you.

Regarding figuring out if your internet connection is actually realized as a "DS-Lite" connection or not - depending on how "accessible" your router is it should be stated there on the status page of your internet connection or else-wise it may be helpful if you state which ISP you are using and then may a fellow Italian knows if your ISP is actually using DS-Lite or not - i sadly myself don't have that kind of knowledge for italian ISP's only know it for German ones.īut regardless if you are actually using DS-Lite or just having issues with port forwarding using a VPN most likely can solve both.Īn basic explanation of VPN services in general: You'll have to download a vpn client which is a small programm which on launch will establish a connection (more specifically an encrypted tunnel) to a server of your choice (e.g. Okay i'll try to answer your questions as best as possible and hopefully without getting too technical.
