Solutions like remote.it support both (1), via public URIs connecting to individual services, and (2) by having cients that run remote.it locally. The latter permits such a client to bypass the tunnel entirely if it is on the same network as the server or, apparently, via a peer-to-peer connection rather than an internet proxy (the tunnel).

(2) did not work for me because I don't have control over all the potential clients; I need to be able to give out a single URI which will reliably access the service. In some cases, however, it doesn't make any difference. Think of what happens with an MMPG. Game consoles connect to the manufacturer server, it's an outgoing connection so it just works, but then other people connect to the same server and participate in the same game. playit.gg facilitates the same thing using a VPN (client) solution. In neither case do other players require extra stuff; they already have it.

You are experiencing the effects of Carrier Grade Network Address Translation. It is not solvable using any port forwarding that happens "after" (i.e., on the LAN side) of your Starlink router. I have used ngrok.com on ATT wireless systems that also perform CGNAT. VPN and VPS solutions can also solve this problem, but I don't have personal experience. Ngrok has a free version, runs on just about any common platform and the local instance can forward incoming packets to other hosts on your LAN. I use it to remotely access a video server that runs my cameras, two wireless bridges that need occasional remote reboots and a Raspberry Pi that can monitor all of the above and is part of my security system. Thus, all of my WAN-facing hosts are not directly exposed to the internet. It is very stable and automatically re-establishes it tunnel when the WAN link glitches. Has a bit of a learning curve if you're not familiar with networking lingo and command line interfaces, but there are good examples to follow.
