Okay, so... the ISP just brought me into the modern age with fiber optic internet. Sadly, somehow or another they've set it up so my router sees this 100.64.x.x IP, which is a "shared address space" which means... I dunno. In any case, this means at best, until I can (if I can) figure something else out, I have to manually update the fvf.servequake.com address from now on. If I go to whatismyip I still see a normal public IP address. Hopefully the server still works...
Anyway, it's updated now.
So, I've learned I'm currently on what is known as "CGNAT". It allows ISPs to save a bunch of IPV4 addresses by grouping multiple subscribers to a single public IP. It's basically like being connected to a router you have no access to. As such, FvF is down until further notice. I will try calling the ISP and seeing what options I may have, and exploring other options failing that.
At least, as long as I'm alive, FvF won't be truly dead. I don't give up easily.
