Broadcasting a locally-hosted server without port forwarding access

Hi -- I've been trying to host a server on my own hardware, but I've been unable to expose it to the internet, because I lack access to any port forwarding solution. I do have a VPS which is open to the internet - but I can't find any working methods on tunnelling network traffic from the local server ("Gaia") to the VPS ("Rigel.") Attached below is a rough graph of the problem.

Ngrok. Use ngrok. Or use playit.gg Also you might still be able to port forward Is the issue that you are in a CGNAT? Is the issue that your system is just unable to port forward? Type in the name of your internet carrier in here and ill find you a solution.

@Butter can connect with playit, yeah lack of a custom domain is a bit of a dealbreaker - tried adding a CNAME record and it would just time out afterwards - but it'll do for now thanks for the help !answered
