Not OP, but it's the only way I can host a webserver off my home connection, as my ISP blocks ports upstream.
After this was announced, I discussed using tailscale with my friends who use the server; some are technical enough to be able to install the client, others have devices that tailscale can't be installed on, so a tailscale subnet router would have to be set up for those devices. If it's what I have to do, I'll do it, but it's so much simpler just being able to have a publicly addressable IP with an open port.
Not a dyndns or router issue. My ISP blocks ports upstream, so there's no way to open a port on my home IP. I use the VPN to get an open port on a Mullvad IP and tunnel it to my web server.

Couldn't you use a dynamic DNS service and port forwarding on your home router?
Or I guess you're using the VPN to provide the encryption? If so, you could use SSL with let's encrypt.
Or is it access control? I guess maybe it's this one as i don't have a ready answer for you.
