Homelab connection help (alien.top)

Hello everyone,

I’m in a pickle and I need your help. My mom, who is usually very smart and savvy, made a terrible mistake. She bought a Jio Fiber connection (prepaid for 6 months🤦) without asking me. She thought it would be a great deal and a wonderful surprise for me. Well, it was a surprise, alright. A nasty one. They do not provide a static IP address, which I desperately need for my work and hobbies. I used to RDP on my main Windows machine and control Proxmox with a static IP. Now I can’t do that anymore on the new ISP. I feel like I’m trapped in a nightmare. I tried to find a way out by installing Twingate docker on my Debian VM using Proxmox. But alas, Twingate doesn’t work either. I tried Dynamic DNS, but that’s a dead end too. I recently discovered that Jio provides IPv6 and the WiFi AP features are mostly locked down (seems like shady practices). I want to connect to my home network. How can I access it? Please help me before I throw my computer out of the window.

It's not clear to me what you're trying to do in terms of network access.

So your "main Windows machine" is inside your local network, and you are accessing it remotely via RDP from outside your home, which you then use to control a Proxmox server? You didn't have an open RDP port open to the internet before, right? What is your setup?

Why do Twingate and dynamic dns not work? What kinds of errors are you encountering? You could also try Tailscale.
