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?

Apparently not. I think I really need to change provider.

Would it be suitable to use a reverse proxy from cloudflare for the public access to a single port? Or would that still be insecure?

    I’ve always rolled my own, and I’ve never touched Cloudflare, but from what I understand of what they offer, it should be possible, and largely equivalent from a security perspective.

    I prefer to not be dependent on systems I don’t or can’t control or jettison, but that requires a level of commitment to continual vigilance and learning few can justify.

    I'm with you on that. Prefer to host things myself. I was planning to setup wireguard, but because im behind CGNAT, I cant just use my server as the entrypoint for the VPN. I still need some proxy or server to tunnel into my home network.

    How do you configure yours? Do you just have a public ip that connects straight to your home server?
