GTA online NAT type strict

[Scropius]

Hi I use airtel and before few months I used to connect with other players in lobby and my NAT type was open but past few weeks, My NAT type is strict and I cannot connect with other players and my loading is taking lot of time. I have tried everything by allowing GTA5 to firewall but its not fixed yet. Please help me

May be Airtel stopped providing public IP to you and switched to CG-NAT

Where to check if I have switched to CG-NAT?

Should I try port forwarding? I saw a tutorial on youtube. He logined to his router website and port forwarded. I can't figure out my router company name. It has Nokia name and airtel xtreme fibre logo.

Check if the IP in WAN status of your router. Then check your IP in What Is My IP?. If both IPs are different it means you are on CG-NAT

Port forwarding won't help if you are on CGNAT

@lucifer I am facing the same issue.. what's the best solution here for home networks? Is buying a static IP an option? Are there any other workarounds?
