Or, like the original post said, use Tailscale, which can punch a hole through the NAT for you.

Port forwarding is easy and self-reliant compared to using a third party's free service though

Not saying that's for everyone but I do feel like the default should be to click the two buttons in your router interface and third parties a fallback option or conscious choice. Probably just as quick as signing up for tailscale, if it weren't for that all routers feel like they need to reinvent a UI so it's never twice the same

Not everyone can get port forwarding, though. If you're stuck behind one of those terrible CGNAT+no IPv6 ISPs, you can't host your own services from home that easily. There are more of those shit tier internet providers out there than you'd hope or expect.
