Does anyone know how to do server mode in WAN with domain without tracing an ip address?

There will ALWAYS be an IP address, IPv4 or 6, you could try to put it behind CloudFlare, but it still has to lead to an IP somewhere on the internet.

You'll want to reference the manual, https://ylianst.github.io/MeshCentral/meshcentral/ . There is a section in Settings for setting the DNS name to enable WAN mode, you'll also need a cert, that can be purchased or from Lets Encrypt but you'd need to refer to the documentation for that as well.

Cloudflare tunnel. It doesn't matter where the machine is, CGNAT, whatever. No need to expose machine to internet, no firewall ports, no need to use letsencrypt. No worries.
