Your usual rhetoric. Again, we are not afraid of the people that live 
with us, but of those that don't.

And then, keeping privacy can be absolute. NO ONE, including those in 
our houses, need to pry what we do.

And then, you forget that one may live alone, and yet follow recommended 
security and privacy practices. We consider silly not to use login/pass 
even at home. Security in computing is multilayered, any expert will 
tell you that. You don't rely solely on the house key.

Oops, CGNAT.

It would be rare in the USA for an ISP to use CGNAT, because the USA 
reserved a huge pool of IPv4 addresses. A small cheap provider might use 
it, though. On countries where the pool is scarce (and instead of using 
IPv6) they would have to use CGNAT.

It has been some time since I looked. The problem is finding out what 
they call client and what server.

You want to be "supported", ie, you want your computer to be used by 
someone (so 1). The person in the phone connects to you and manipulates 
your computer, ie, gives support (so 2).


I would also suggest googling "alternatives to teamviewer". Teamviewer 
is the best known, but there are others. I can not recommend any of them 
from personal experience, though.
