Tailscale - completely noob question (alien.top)

Hello, everyone. Sorry for being such a noob here but I am switching over to 4g broadband again next week and I have been told that I will not longer be able to remotely access my DVR or mini home server since the provider does not give a public ip address like a traditional broadband provider. Am I correct in saying Tailscale would resolve this issue somehow and allow me to view my camera system remotely?

I currently use dynamic dns, which I assume will now be redundant.

Thanks in advance.

You will be behind CGNAT and a VPN will work yes but you will need to run a VPN client on each of your remote devices.
