* If the Moonlight Internet Streaming Tester says your ISP is running a [Carrier-grade NAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT) that blocks hosting services like Moonlight, try these steps:
* You can try using the [IPv6 setup steps](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide#ipv6-certain-isps-only).
* If your ISP deployed Carrier-grade NAT without working IPv6, you have no way of directly hosting anything on the Internet, and you should consider getting a better ISP (I am only half-joking).
* If you're stuck with your ISP, a VPN is your only option. VPNs will almost always have significantly higher latency and reduced performance compared to port forwarding or IPv6 because you aren't connecting directly to your PC.
* If you're stuck with your ISP, many users have reported good streaming performance using [ZeroTier](https://www.zerotier.com/download.shtml).

### No video (black screen)
* Ensure your monitor is powered on and connected to your NVIDIA GPU
* If you want to stream without a monitor connected, you can buy a cheap headless HDMI dongle like [this one](https://www.amazon.com/fit-Headless-GS-resolution-emulator-game-streaming/dp/B01EK05WTY)
* Try a different game or stream Steam to see if it's game-specific. You may be able to work around the game-specific issues by [streaming your whole desktop](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide#using-moonlight-to-stream-your-entire-desktop) and starting the game from there.
