Can Immich mobile apps connect to a GateBeacon-tunnelled server?

Yes. The Immich iOS and Android apps connect using the HTTPS URL that GateBeacon provides.

Will my photos be stored on GateBeacon servers?

No. GateBeacon only routes traffic. Your photos are stored only on your own hardware.

Does this work on a home internet connection with CGNAT?

Yes. GateBeacon is specifically designed for home ISPs that use CGNAT and provide no public IP.

Your hardware is ready. GateBeacon handles the rest.
