One problem with the solution in this blog post is that various endpoints block datacenter IP ranges entirely or make you go through various captcha hoops, but no good way around that. Same for common VPN providers.
Since I wanted to fix this for my entire home network I also had to do this on my router - in those cases it's quite beneficial to have a non-standard device like an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter, not sure how I would have set up all the Wireguard routing and nat rules on something like a FritzBox. The only downside is that the Router isn't powerful enough to handle a lot of connections, so I'll have to switch to IPSec which is supported by hardware offloading.

The biggest problem you'd probably run into is figuring out what kind of IPsec encryption configuration the router expects from the other side (Wireguard should be a lot easier but then you may run into hardware acceleration issues).
If you need to get down to it, you can also make a backup of the Fritzbox config file, edit the dump to manually configure the VPN endpoint, recalculate the checksum (there are tools for that), and re-import the config file. AVM has loads of config not accessible to the user that you can tweak that way, but they make it a bit hard to access so you don't accidentally brick your router.

Perhaps this would be an option to ask your ISP about.
