Cloudflare tunnels can punch a hole through that. Get a reverse proxy setup for your apps and VMs, then create a cloudflare tunnel and you’re off to the races.
Sorry, but I'm a bit lost with these specifics. I currently have a reverse proxy (nginx) publishing some of my apps running locally on my home server. Where should I put the reverse proxy? On the remote unreachable server, or? And how would the tunnel go?
On the server that’s behind CGNAT, install Cloudflare tunnel. The tunnel will create an out going connection to Cloudflare, with an open socket; when you try to hit your specified subdomain, Cloudflare will receive your request, send it through the tunnel, and thus allow you to connect to your service.
