You know you can circumvent CGNAT with Tailscale, Zerotier, Cloudflared or just Wireguard?
Is there a good guide out there on how this would work? I tried to host my Plex server at a friend's house while I am traveling but his ISP uses cgnat and the router wouldn't let me do any sort of port forwarding so I gave up and now my family is bugging me about when Plex will be running again.
I'd also like to move beyond just forwarding ports to the internet because I know it's a security vulnerability. I got everything to work correctly and I wasn't worried about someone gaining access to my Plex server, but I'd like to do things the right way.

Thank you. This is definitely a bit high level for me (I never figured out how a reverse proxy works or even how to set one up) but I think it gives me the start to a rabbit hole I can dive into.
Welcome
Yes I do - in fact I'm using a VPS with Wireguard to serve the website I'm replying to you from. I also use Zerotier at times to connect to my desktop computer while outside of my house.
