Port Forwarding Alternative?

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?

Cloudflare tunnel for anything web based

Ill hijack op now.

Can i setup cloudflare tunnel and stil access the server via Lan when I am at home with the same setup?

Like a two entry system?

Yes, since you define a service in cloudflare by giving it a local ip and port when using zero trust.

With that you shouldn't be losing your local setup.
