Assessment

Description

Besides issuing dynamic IP address, more and more ISPs are also using NAT, which prevents a trivial port forwarding by configurating the home gateway.

I suggest to integrate the PIA article (https://support.storj.io/hc/en-us/articles/360026892971-Running-a-V3-Storage-Node-with-PIA-VPN-) to the networking section of the prerequisites (https://documentation.storj.io/before-you-begin/prerequisites#internet-connection) and port forwarding page (https://documentation.storj.io/dependencies/port-forwarding).
