I am looking something to connect to my server from outside my local network.

I am on a shared IP and my ISP doesn’t have port forwarding.

This seems like it might be a perfect use case for Tailscale. The open source version of the control plane is called Headscale but you’d have to host it in a vps somewhere if you wanted to use it.

Tailscale is probably your best option.

Cloudflare Tunnels are black magic and exactly what you’re looking for:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/

Free, no need to self host a server somewhere externally. Can even be used for SSH!

I am upvoting this - also moved to Cloudflare from ngrok it’s much simpler to use

Do you have any external server available to you? If yes you could use that to set up a VPN connection or SSH tunnel.
