@chronicledmonocle@sugar_in_your_tea This is why I love yggdrasil. Thanks to having a VPS running it that all of my hosts globally can connect to, I can just use IPv6 for everything and reverse proxy using those IPv6 addresses where I need to. Once hosts are connected and on my private yggdrasil network, I stop caring about CGNAT or IPv4 at all other than to maybe create public IPv4 access to a service.
IPv6 doesn’t help anything if you’re behind CGNAT, you can have internal-only IPv6. There are good reasons to not have every household directly accessible to the outside world, so I’m sympathetic to that, but they also seem to love charging extra for it.
CGNAT only applies to IPv4. You cannot NAT IPv6 effectively. It’s not designed to be NATed. While there IS provisions for private IPv6 addressing, nobody actually does it because it’s pointless.
I guess you already know about the options, but for others:
Find the cheapest VPS out there and have a Wireguard tunnel between it and your home network. Run ddclient or similar on the VPS in case the public IP changes.
Yup, that’s what I did. I even have my TLS servers running on my LAN as well, so once my ISP no longer puts me behind CGNAT, I just need to change my DNS settings and set up some port forwards on my router.
Yup, CGNAT blows.
It’s why IPv6 is important, but many didn’t listen.

Yeah, there are workarounds… And who knows, maybe its just safer than public ip… But definitely require some external fixture.

Wireguard or ssh tunnel with port forwards, both works.
