I am aware that Starlink Residential uses CGNAT and does not support port forwarding - but if I've got a public IP with a business plan, with an external router in bypass mode and port forward a simple HTTP server, it doesn't work if I visit my public IP on the internet.

Now here is where things change.

If I go to CloudFlare and manage a domain, and let's say I add an A record that points to that public IP it doesn't work...

If I proxy it - it somehow works? Like what on earth?

So I do this and it all works fine.

I have port forwarded ports 993 and 465 - I go to Outlook and type in the server address (custom domain that is proxied via cloudflare) and it doesn't work...

However from the server I can send and receive emails perfectly fine - I just can't log in via IMAP or even POP3.

Does Starlink block these ports for business plans?

Good luck figuring this one out ya'll, took me all day yesterday and all day today trying to figure this out and can't.

I feel like something is missing in my life.

I'm 16 years old with my own business in web hosting - it's quite successful.

I've got the best parents in the entire world.

I've got good friends.

I'm quite wealthy (SELF MADE - NOT GIVEN BY ANYONE ELSE)

But sometimes I look at my desk and my futuristic room and think I'm missing something.

I'm feeling a mix of being relaxed and sad at the same time.

Could anyone give me assumptions on what it is?
