How to bypass CGNAT for cheap or free? (self.networking)

My current internet provider does not allow me to opt out of cgnat. So I don't have a public ip to connect to my home server from outside.

What is a good way to still connect to my home server?

Do I need to setup some VPN like headscale on cloudflare and use that to acces my network?

What if I want to host a website and make it availavle publicly?

I run a tiny little netbird VPS in the cloud. A node at home makes an outbound connection to the cloud, and I connect to the cloud from my phone. Traffic transits that network to reach my LAN.

    Arw you using the free version?

    I suppose I can try this out, but that wouldn't be suitable for public access to my server, right? Just for myself to have a secure connection.

    Yes, the free version.

    You can probably publish the services via the cloud server too. Personally I always recommend against publishing stuff to the public, especially if you run it out of your LAN.

    Yeah, I dont really want to publish anything publicly. Ssh access would be good, but I can do that with VPN tunnel because it would be from my own devices.

    But sometimes I need access to my server with gui via other devices, like public computers or somebody elses laptop.

    I was thinking to setup a reverse proxy and point it to apache guacamole on the server. Then I can do remote desktop via any browser with 2fa from my phone.
