This might actually be the future of running net-accessible stuff on your own devices, if the NAT-imposed unreachability continues to cement itself as the default expectation for people. Great that they have a free tier.

Though I think you can do this same thing with many existing tunnel providers too, no?

Possession of an IPv6 address does not automatically imply that your ISP allows incoming connection to your ports.

port blocking is a whole other problem.

I'm referring to the rapidly growing number of people behind CGNAT.

Yes, this kind of proxying is the plan D.

Tor is another helpful tool for working around NAT.
