Renting a VPS bypasses CGNAT, enabling self-hosting and improving P2P gaming connectivity

A rented VPS solved internet connectivity issues caused by CGNAT, enabling self-hosting and P2P gaming. The VPS provides a public IP address, bypassing CGNAT's limitations for services requiring direct inbound connections, unlike Cloudflare Tunnel which only handles web traffic. This solution also unexpectedly fixed problems with multiplayer game matchmaking, which relies on direct peer-to-peer connections blocked by CGNAT.
