Yeah so I’ve set up remote access to two different homes, one where the router was facing the internet directly, and that was easy, setting up a reverse proxy is not for the average user, but neither is other stuff involved in this sort of system.
Then at another place, where the router was behind cgnat and therefore could not perform its own nat, I set up a wireguard connection to a VPS that itself hosted the reverse proxy… Homemade tailscale, sorta. That was a bit complicated, I don’t think most people have the patience for that.
Yeah cgnat is such a stupid thing. Why can’t we get IPv6 already and avoid all of the headaches of NAT and dynamic IP addresses and such. None of that stuff should be so complicated in a residential environment.

Companies would manage to fuck that up somehow
