I called my ISP today to set up a static IP because my services keep being taken down from my IP changing. I either need a business plan or a 5-10gbps residential plan to do that…
I cannot get on the business plan without a valid Business ID so that’s not an option. And no way in hell I’m paying for those speeds.
Anyone have any alternatives to stop this from happening so often? My public IP seems to change regularly every 2-3 weeks and it’s getting pretty frustrating having to reconfigure things. I only have 2 ISPs in my area and they are both terrible. I assume I’m out of luck, but maybe there’s some tech magic I’m unaware of.
Why not run just the VPN on the VPS instead of opening everything directly?
Not sure I understand. The VPN (Tailscale) is on the VPS.
I have several very technically challenged family members that wanted to use a couple of the services that I host. Doing it this way simplifies the setup and the tech support calls. The VPS, or rather a domain name that leads to the VPS, is how they access those services.
I have Tailscale setup on all my personal devices, so I generally just connect directly to the services.
