Server behind CGNAT - Reverse VPN? Or how to bypass? (lemm.ee)

So..in a short sentence...the title. I have a server in a remote location which also happens to be under CGNAT. I only get to visit this location once a year at best, so if anything goes off...It stays off for the rest of that year until I can go and troubleshoot. I have a main location/home where everything works, I get a fixed IP and I can connect multiple services as desired. I'd like to make this so I could publish internal servers such as HA or similar on this remote location, and reach them in a way easy enough that I could install the apps to non-tech users and they could just use them through a normal URL. Is this possible? I already have a PiVPN running wireguard on the main location, and I just tested an LXC container from remote location, it connects via wireguard to the main location just fine, can ping/ssh machines correctly. But I can't reach this VPN-connected machine from the main location. Alternatively, I'm happy to listen to alternative solutions/ideas on how to connect this remote location to the main one somehow.

Thanks!

I'm noob and this was simple. Works like a charm. It has readymade installers for Wireguard on different VPS providers and installer for your client (home server). https://github.com/mochman/Bypass_CGNAT

I use this too.. though I had to do some modifications to the wireguard script (it cleared iptables and blocked the SSH port). Other than that it works great.

Thanks...I use my own home server, so I'd try to avoid the VPS part if I can, and directly re-address it to the home server, as I already have that one with a working fixed domain etc.
