How can I bypass CGNAT by using a VPS with a public IPv4 address?

I want to move away from Cloudflare tunnels, so I rented a cheap VPS from Hetzner and tried to follow this guide. Unfortunately, the WireGuard setup didn’t work. I’m trying to forward all traffic from the VPS to my homeserver and vice versa. Are there any other ways to solve this issue?

VPS Info:

OS: Debian 12

Architecture: ARM64 / aarch64

RAM: 4 GB

Traffic: 20 TB

I managed this by using tailscale, with a kind of weird setup I think, but it just works.

I have tailscale on the VPS and my local server, let’s say its tailscale name is potatoserver

Then with Caddy on the VPS i have something like:

mywebsite.com { reverse_proxy potatoserver:port }

And so mywebsite.com is accessible on the clearnet through the VPS

Though given you’re getting rid of cloudflare tunnles I don’t know if you’d want to get into Tailscale. There’s Headscale too but I haven’t worked with it so I can’t comment
