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!
You must log in or register to comment.
nearly everything, you don’t need a static ip to selfhost, look up DDNS :>
You also could just do lan
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
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.
CGNAT blows, but easy to workaround w/ a $5/mo VPS.
Straya. I have a static ip. Costs like 5$ a month
North America?
straya = australia
Thanks, I was thinking of the fitness app
Anything. You don’t need any services to be public unless you choose for them to be.
actually I was thinking about hosting my own fediverse service to own my data but I can’t do that without a static public IP and domain name.
You actually want a cloudfare tunnel if youre going to do that. It protects your real IP. Hosting a fediverse instance will draw attention to your real IP eventually otherwise.
As long as you’re not behind CGNAT, you can use a dynamic DNS provider (like duckdns.org) and its web API to keep a record pointed at your IP. If you’re behind CGNAT, Tailscale also has a service (Tailscale Funnel) that can expose an internal service to the internet.
You could also pay for a small VPS with a static IP, and set up a Wireguard tunnel to your home server and an HTTPS proxy to forward traffic through the tunnel.
Also, just in general, use Tailscale. It’s serious black magic fuckery on the firewall.
Yeah I am behind CGNAT so I guess I have to use either Tailscale or wireguard as other users also suggested.
Thank you for the reply!
Just to chip in, cloudflare tunnels are a thing and also transverse CGNAT. Or you could use LocalXPosed, and other sevices like that.
