My ISP doesn’t give a Public IP and let me open ports without paying a extra fee, which I cannot afford rn. I host all my services on a old PC, Anyways that i can access my services beyond my LAN?

Tailscale and Zerotier might be suitable for this, and they’re free for personal use. The can be used to work around NAT because they can route your traffic over their transparent relays.

That’s Really Lovely to hear and I am just a tad bit curious, How can someone make sure that the relay’s are transparent? You cannot really go and check it there to find out, can we?

Transparent here means the use of the relay is invisible to you. If two devices under the same tailscale/Zerotier network can access each other (e.g. in the same lan), then the relay won’t be used. But if both devices are under separate networks (e.g. one in your home, and the other is your phone while outside your home, and both devices are behind NATs), the relay will be automatically used as a bridge so both devices can communicate with each others.

Connections to relays are encrypted, but Zerotier allows you to setup your own relay server if you worry about privacy. Not sure about tailscale.

Obviously you cannot be 100% sure. You can read more here:
