Wouldn't you need a publically available IP? DuckDNS is only for dynamic IP's that is public, yes?
Works with anything that can open ports. DuckDNS works by pinging their service from anywhere to update the target IP for the subdomain.
Doesn't work if you are on CGNAT
See: Anything that can open ports. NAT of any kind tends to not allow opening ports.
Absolutely. However I feel like the whole thread needs extra clarification, considering the question OP posed.
Dynamic DNS isn't a magic wand in the way a Reverse Proxy over VPN is.
