How can I get my Switch better connected to the Internet? (lemmus.org)

Usually, when I try to use my Switch for online connectivity the system is connected but I keep getting error messages and won’t actually connect to the online servers I try to access.

I live in the countryside with my family, so maybe that’s why my Internet is so wonky?

But I’m still able to access the online classic games for the NES, SNES, and Game Boy at least: I just can’t play the regular Switch games.

Any advice for a better connection?

Could tunnel to a VPS using a VPN. VPN deals with the CGNAT traversal, and VPS gives your home network a static public IP. But would need to do it at a network level cause I doubt a switch can do that directly
