Try it out, and if it fails, let Ring know!

he is currently looking over my HC-2 to see why it would not connect through the USB port--I'll ask him specifically when I call him

Just remember (for everyone), the HC-2 failing to initiate a download and CGNAT are separate issues.

Nortoneye doesn't have a CGNAT issue at this time, he's paying extra per month on his internet access to have a public ip address so he does have access as attested to he can use RPA and HC Sim together to connect and download files.
I've already run the tests and I already have the answers. In fact, I thought of and ran a new test today which confirms a couple of things.
- I set up a port forward in my router to send all unexpected packets from the internet on the port that RPA uses as the source port to my test server (note: the default behavior of virtually every router on the planet is to drop any connection it's not expecting, this is how CGNAT stops RPA from working).
- I set up a listener on that port on my test server.
- Using the UDP test tool on my PC I sent a connection test to Rings server using a different source port to the port that RPA uses.
The result: As expected the test server got the reply from Rings server and not my PC.

Tim Ring would do well to hire you as a subcontractor.

No, he would do well to swallow some pride and say "You were right, I was wrong" with nothing else needed to be said but I don't expect that. If he asked me what does he need to change/do to make it work for CGNAT I'd tell him but I don't expect that either.
I'm glad you got my test and what the result meant Alan, I wasn't expecting anyone to understand it.
