I can’t VPN into my home network. 😭
Does anyone know if this related to the AWS outage? What should I be running to avoid this situation in the future?

It’s almost certainly related to AWS.
Get a dynamic DNS from afraid.org, they’re great. That’ll make it so you can always find your home network without needing to write down your IP address (especially frustrating if it changes).
Then run a VPN server, like OpenVPN, on a computer that is always on and redirect the VPN connection port from your router to the VPN server. If you don’t know how to get into your router’s admin console, LEARN HOW! This is critical to maintaining home network security even if you aren’t running servers.
It’s not easy, but it’s way, WAY more robust than depending on a 3rd party to keep your info (except for afraid.org and they practically NEVER go down).
That’ll only work if OP isn’t behind CGNAT though.
How many people are CGNAT and also no ipv6?
Actually, I don’t want to know. It’s too damn high.
Dumb question – what happens if afraid.org goes down?
