Is there a service that gives you a web address that serves as a IP address for your home laptop or computer? I seem to remember something like that being mentioned on some previous post.

NordVPN can be set to allow LAN traffic through. So, if you setup port forwarding on your router, which it sounds like you already did, it will then allow that LAN traffic in.

Linux instructions:
Relevant commands:

Bringing it all together:
-
Run
ifconfigto get your current IP. It's most likely 192.168.1.xxx -
Run
nordvpn whitelist add subnet 192.168.1.0/24to add your subnet to the whitelist (change the first three sections of the subnet to match what your IP is in the first command if it is different) -
run
nordvpn settingsto view all settings and verify they look right, you should see your subnet in the whitelist section now -
run
nordvpn cto reconnect and apply your new settings

In case Tailscale doesn't work, there's tons of other options. The one I use to set up my Foundry sessions woth my players is Zgrok. Works as good as ngrok and tailscale while being more generous with data limits.
