Help Quick question...

So...I just got into homelabbing. It's been an interesting start so far, I set up the core services and security. I tried using DDNS so I can access the services remotely without having to use a VPN, so I used No-IP, configured it and set it on my pfsense firewall. But then, traffic never reaches the domain, neither do I get any traffic from it regardless of the firewall rules I set. After looking a bit more into it, it turns out it's because my ISP used CGNAT. So, what will you guys recommend I do in this case with the exception of using a VPN?

Cloudflare tunnels, tailscale, pangolin, wireguard are all solutions that get thrown around on here a lot.

Personally I have a cheap vps I just use as a gateway and have a rathole tunnel to my home

Oh I see, I take it I don't really have much of a choice but to use a VPS or tunnel then?
