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.

Definitely see how often your public IP changes. I got a few months into my new fibre connection and I realized that my address hasn't changed. Two years in I'm hosting a bunch of websites on it and my address hasn't changed once. Regular residential fibre connection.

Especially if you go ipv6. I've noticed many of my friends and I get new addresses almost never now that I've slowly migrated at least our web apps to ipv6.
