Edit: Big thanks to everybody who shared their advice! :) I’m very pleasantly surprised and will definitely explore all the options you guys provided, such as getting an additional router or configuring Tailscale. Again, big thanks to everyone!


Hi all, I’ve recently moved and now my ISP doesn’t allow port forwarding for wired connections (wifi only), and my landlord does not allow changing ISPs. Now my home server is practically useless which makes me very sad.

Is there any easy way to still access device ports without port forwarding or buying a wifi card/dongle is my safest bet?

    I’m behind CGNAT with months between IPv6 prefix changes. Having a separate publicly routable IP for each host is awesome.

    Tailscale causes heavy battery drain on my phone (Pixel 4a GrapheneOS) so I’m now on always on plain Wireguard, which only needs 1% of my battery.

    Sadly my mother doesn’t have IPv6, so accessing e.g. Jellyfin is not possible.
