How do I find out what IPs to give, my IP doesnt stay the same? The local IP is hardly the one they want, it wouldnt make sense I think.

There's a decent chance your public IP, even though not technically static, doesn't change all that often. Depends on your ISP, but I've only had my public IP change unexpectedly once over ~5 years of self-hosting and that was after a 24-hour power outage.

Yep, before I got a real, actual static IP I had a "sticky" IP that only changed once over 5 years, and they sent an email warning of it first. but most ISPs will offer a static IP upgrade for a reasonable price, even if they dont advertise it.

now I have a static IP and a giant IPV6 allocation to play with too.
