Not sure who Tom and Peg are, but I'd really like to know why their hubs are showing up on my network scan!
What is your ISP? I am guessing you are on cgnat sharing a public IP with other people. This has come up before. You won’t be able to connect to them, different LAN. Not totally sure how the scan finds them but I believe it only happens with cgnat.

You would be correct. I'm on Starlink. I just switched from a public IP to CGNAT because of their price increases for public IPs. (Basically I would have gone from $140/mo to $600/mo)
I have found out recently that cgnat also plays havoc with port forwarding for things like VPN's as well... At least it did for me.... I was able to switch from cgnat to a public IP that changes periodically (I'm not with starlink)
Ouch that's brutal...
Yes. I had to purchase a VPS for $7/mo with a static IP and setup Wireguard between it and my Opnsense firewall. I then port forward incoming connections to the VPS to the services on my network.
Can't wait to get fiber here, probably another 3-4 years, perhaps longer now with Trump's FCC pushing Starlink instead of Terrestrial based solutions.
You might want to have a look at Tailscale.
