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.
Right, sole proprietorships are generally seen as valid businesses.
TheKaul dba TheKaul Consulting Services and a business id of your SSN will usually do the trick
OP, with that said - My IP almost never changes, but, pfSense has the ability to update DNS records when it changes, depending on the DNS Host. No reason a script wouldn’t be able to do the same thing when it sees your IP change, assuming the things you have to change basically come down to setting a couple of records to match your home IP anyways.
