CGNAT and double NAT do not break local Immich use. They mainly complicate direct inbound remote access and can force alternate or relayed paths.
How Does Network Latency Affect Immich During Large Mobile-Library Imports?
Latency affects request setup, acknowledgments, retries, and remote service calls; bandwidth controls bulk transfer, while server jobs continue after upload.
