Hello. I recently bought my first scanner, the 536HP as listed in the title. I have it programmed to what I want to listen to but mostly want to listen to it on my phone. I downloaded the 2 guides made by RR user - NYRHKY94, which walk you step by step for streaming over RSOIP and the 2nd one for streaming over a web server. The problem I encountered was at the very end where it says that you need to enable port forwarding in order to finish it, however I have a gen 1 starlink system and apparently port forwarding is not an option. My question is, what would be the easiest way around this? Would I be able to purchase a different router that has port forwarding and replace the starlink router or is only the starlink router able to work with the starlink system? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am in no way what you would describe tech savvy. So if this is not an option or if you know of a different way around my problem, please explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old. Thank you in advance for any help

Starlink uses CGNAT and port forwarding does not work. A different router will not help. You have to use the Starlink device.

There may be some solution to this but it won’t be simple. I keep wondering if a VPN might work.

Only semi-facetious idea. Maybe go on X and post (tweet?) the question to Elon Musk. He might solve the problem and give you an answer.

Yeah he invented electric vehicles, satellites and rocket ships so he should know. Maybe he will send you a free Cybertruck for your troubles.

Ohh, ok. I thought it was just a router issue, thank you for the info

Lol unfortunately, he neither invented or came up with any original ideas, he only buys good ideas from people
