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.
Rent a cheap vps and do something like I did with ssh tunneling, or wireguard VPN, between home and the vps:

(Sorry I keep posting links to my wiki but the whole point was writing once)
Cloudflared tunnel.
If you’re the only one connecting to the server, I would recommend something like Tailscale. Everything will be encrypted and you won’t need to forward any ports to the public internet.
If other people need to access it, an option might be https://hoppy.network. I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like it would be pretty slick if it works well.
Wouldn’t Tailscale funnel achieve what they want? https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/funnel
I think it depends on what kind of services they are using as I think Funnel is designed for HTTPS traffic, no UDP or custom ports.
Ah yes. Good point. I haven’t used it myself yet as I’ve not had reason too. Just on my list of Tailscale things to try out
