Obtaining an external IP address...
Consider setting up a local server at home that uses a free-tier Google Cloud Platform instance with an external IP. This would allow you to route traffic through OpenVPN and access the internet via your VPN server's IP. Make sure the configuration is correct so the cloud server can communicate with your local network.
It seems you're considering using a cloud hosting service as a reverse proxy to connect to a server inside your carrier-grade NAT internet setup. However, I'm not familiar with the technical details of this approach, especially given the complexities around carrier-grade NAT and reverse proxying. Before proceeding, it's wise to verify whether your ISP allows server hosting on such connections and ensure you have proper authorization. For personal or testing use only, proceed cautiously, as your provider might disconnect you for unauthorized activity.
