[kwlug-disc] Remote access to machine behind CG-NAT

(CG-NAT = Carrier Grade NAT)
If one has a machine behind a CG-NAT network provider, the
usual port forwarding techniques and Dynamic DNS no longer
work.

What other options do I have?
There is VPN, where one sets up their own VPN on a virtual
server. And there are the commercial providers.

WireGuard seems to be the newer technology with less
resource utilization. TailScale is a Canadian VPN provider
who provide hosted WireGuard.
Anyone tried them? Do they have a free (or low cost) tier?

There is also the tried and tested OpenVPN, but it uses
more resources.

All ideas and recommendations welcome.
