Question 1

How do I give a computer behind CGNAT a public IP address?

Accepted Answer

Nekotopia connects your machine over an encrypted WireGuard tunnel to a regional hub, so it becomes reachable on a real public IP without any port-forwarding or a static IP from your ISP. CGNAT, dynamic IPs and double-NAT stop mattering — the hub handles inbound reachability for you.

Question 2

Can I host a server at home without port forwarding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because inbound connections terminate on a Nekotopia hub and travel back to your hardware through the WireGuard tunnel, you never open a port on your home router. Your gear stays unexposed to the open internet while still being publicly reachable on the services you choose to publish.

Question 3

Can I get a dedicated static IPv4 or a routed subnet for my homelab?

Accepted Answer

Both. Paid tiers offer a dedicated static public IPv4 (1:1 NAT) for a single machine, and a fully BGP-routed public subnet — a /29 up to a /24 — announced from Nekotopia's own address space for those who want to run their own network of services.

Question 4

Can I put vintage hardware like an SGI, Amiga or classic Mac safely on the internet?

Accepted Answer

That is exactly what Nekotopia is built for: securing and colocating a living museum of networked retro hardware and services. Vintage and legacy-Unix machines that can't safely face the modern internet sit behind the hub, which terminates TLS and modern crypto on their behalf, so you can share retro services without exposing fragile old stacks.

Question 5

How much does Nekotopia cost?

Accepted Answer

Basic membership is free — Nekotopia is community-funded, with no ads, tracking or subscriptions on the free tier. Optional paid tiers cost a few dollars a month and add a dedicated public IPv4, BGP-routed subnets, priority bandwidth and higher fair-use allowances.
