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.

I hadn't even considered this to proxy stuff through, can't believe it. Thats a great idea.

Definitely something I need to sort out at some point. Cheers.

If all you need is a static IP and a little traffic, there are free-tier or a couple bucks a month vps options. Use SSH to proxy a single port to connect to their service.
