Changing IP and Direct TV Stream

Hello,

IP passthrough is turned on by default on InvisaGig, and this works very well for our customers.

The IP address and DDNS usage is being mis-defined in usage for many. DDNS does not work behind CGNAT, regardless of what any youtuber may say.

The IP address that gets relayed is a private IP, thus not accessible by any service.

If you apply for a static public IP from your cell carrier, applied to your account/SIM, then this is totally different and makes DDNS non useful as well since the IP is static and publicly addressable.

You can fix this with either a local VPN service (VPS) that you have a public static IP assignment for and route only your DirectTV traffic over the VPN, or get a public static IP assignment from your carrier.

There are other more complex ways with more feature controls and fun stuff, like our article here: How to Get a Public IP for Open NAT, Plex, etc. Using pfSense & WireGuard … but again, using a VPN service.
