Server behind CGNAT - Reverse VPN? Or how to bypass?

iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 32 points –

So..in a short sentence...the title. I have a server in a remote location which also happens to be under CGNAT. I only get to visit this location once a year at best, so if anything goes off...It stays off for the rest of that year until I can go and troubleshoot. I have a main location/home where everything works, I get a fixed IP and I can connect multiple services as desired. I'd like to make this so I could publish internal servers such as HA or similar on this remote location, and reach them in a way easy enough that I could install the apps to non-tech users and they could just use them through a normal URL. Is this possible? I already have a PiVPN running wireguard on the main location, and I just tested an LXC container from remote location, it connects via wireguard to the main location just fine, can ping/ssh machines correctly. But I can't reach this VPN-connected machine from the main location. Alternatively, I'm happy to listen to alternative solutions/ideas on how to connect this remote location to the main one somehow.

Thanks!

Can the ISP at the remote location remove your remote location from the NAT? I have a similar issue where sometimes it’s will reset and my services are inaccessible. A quick call to support usually has the problem fixed in a few minutes.

I...logged a ticket with them, they promised they'd get back to me within 48h. I'm not holding my hopes too high.

That’s unfortunate you have to put in a ticket. They should be able to help you with this during a 5-10m phone call. Hopefully they get to your ticket in a timely manner
