Sorry, not understood. I have had to use port forwarding over a single IPv4
address together with careful firewalling to do anything.
You would not need to do any of that when using Tailscale/Headscale
An assigned static IPv6 block was designed to sort many problems and also
reduce the need for customer support if there is any local neighbourhood
distribution problem which could cause loss of lock, and re-assign all local
addresses together. I have already needed to power cycle my sister's
connection twice. FTTH is available to the entire estate, but there have not
been many customer connections yet. I understand that some people have seen
too many reports of problems associated with the analogue telephone
replacement system provided.
Tailscale/Headscale would not solve any ISP connection issues.
That said, it uses it's own private address space (both v4 and v6)
allowing you to just ignore what the ISP is doing.
Basically, it's a creative and very functional way to use Wireguard and
IMHO it's worth looking at and learning.
