Greetings,

my current ISP refuses to provide me a static IP and they also blocks incoming connection to my ipv6 so I can’t host services on just ipv6 too. I will be changing my ISP when the plan expires.

without public IP I can host my own IRC bouncer but I would like to know what else can I self host? Thanks in advance!

    Rent a VPN, setup a wire guard tunnel and fuck your ISP!

    Anyway having a real public IP on a residential block is basically impossible anywhere but in the USA, I guess.

    You can self host anything like this, all you need is buying a domain and set something up like DynDNS which updates the entry of the domain with your new IPv4 as soon as it changes.

    I would recommend to not open your services to public, but set up a wireguard (or other VPN) endpoint in your home, which you then use to access all your services.

    I think, an alternative to that would be some servicees from tailscale or cloudflare, I suppose

    Self host all your stuff and use tailscale if you just want to provide private services to yourself

        Because of the XY problem. The problem OP is stating may not actually be the source of the issues OP is experiencing.

        Finding out what OP is trying to do will better inform a solution and may make the stated problem irrelevant.

        Because too often people are asking for a solution to the wrong problem. I can tell how to setup a car to drive from the Hawaii to Iceland, but odds are that is not your actual goal. (most often the correct answer is fly to iceland and rent a car, or perhaps just public transit in iceland. You can also put your car on a ship. It is possible to modify a car to drive on the ocean if that is really what you want to do)

    Put everything behind Tailscale or another VPN and use it that way from outside devices. There should be very little need to have a public IP, and if there’s something that has to be exposed, use ngrok, cloudflared or Tailscale Funnel.

    I use a cheap VPS and connect all my relevant devices to it via a VPN (aldo self hosted w/ wireguard). It’s $5/month and does the job.

    So then use dynamic dns? HurricaneElectric offers DynDNS now and it’s great. You can update it right over curl if you want. I have it mapped to a cli function;

      It’s not only not static It’s firewalled too! I can’t ping it from outside the network

        Did you configure NAT to the service(s) and/or DMZ to your internal server in your ISP’s router?

        Not allowing even ping seems like it is against any sane networking configuration.

        Oh, damn. Not much you can do then. You may be eventually be able to get something outrageously complicated to work, but honestly it’s just plain not worth it. Just get a cheap VPS.

        Best you could do is a forward server with tailscale and a reverse_proxy, but I’ve never had any real luck getting that type of setup to work reliably.

    The best way would be to use a VPS to proxy your traffic to you. You can achieve this for pretty cheap, just set up an wireguard tunnel to a cheap VPS. That’s exactly how I access all my services from outside my home. As long as the VPS has a publicly accessible IP (most of them do), you being behind CGNAT should not be an issue.

    I just have a script that checks my IP every few minutes and changes the DNS record as necessary

    You can use Tailscale, you can access your personal services with it but also expose public services with their Funnels system.

    Keep in mind that while the clients are open source, their servers are running proprietary software.

      I started using headscale (the opensource reimplementation of tailscale server) on a private vps. It is incredibly better compared to plain wireguard. I regret waiting so much before switching.

      Something that really made my life easier: wireguard is poor at roaming: switching to and from my wifi created issues because the server wasn’t reachable anymore from its public ip and wireguard didn’t bother to query the DNS again to check the new IP. Also, configuration is dead simple because it takes care of iptables for you (especially good when you enables forwarding to a node).

      Since the server just sends small messages for the control plane and all the traffic is p2p between the devices, the smallest vps with the smaller connectivity is more than enough to handle it.

    Literally anything you want. You don’t need a static IP, any dynamic IP with a software updater will work. For example, I have some public sites proxied through Cloudflare, and I use the DDNS updater for Docker that keeps my DNS correct.
