well that's cool. But I do have to install cloudflared onto each of my server/machines right? And what about machines i need to connect to that doesn't have a regular OS (like a smart vacuum cleaner's GUI)?

haha yehbut i did try starlink before, and incoming traffic isn't getting thru. I will try again if necessary. Right now I want to use local ISP as it is cheaper, faster, more stable than starlink

hi there,
i'm unable to do that. I really need a static IP, also needed to maintain sessions, IP whitelists, and such.

[–] remivato69@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

The IP address they issued me isn't accessible publicly, and port-forwarding isn't possible.

I'll look into these altertnatives, thanks

hmmm i see.. i've head bout tailscale.. but how's the speed? will all traffic from home have to go thru the VPS (slowing down connection, and consuming costly VPS bandwidth)?

[–] remivato69@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (3 children)

And are you talking bout their service called Cloudflared? Because if so, will I need to create a cloudflare tunnel for each port i want to open?

[–] remivato69@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The current ISP's service have been terrible.... frequent down times, that usually take 5-24 hours to resolve. It's unbearable. We were thinking of getting starlink too.

Yes all traffic i need to forward are http based... so that cloudflare thing, did u mean the cloudflared tunnel thing they have? if so, i think I will need to create different tunnels for each port I want to open right?

the other issue that I have is i need a fixed IP in order to access remote databases we use in development. It's a security thing (our remote database server whitelists connecting IP)

 

I have several machines that need direct in/out traffic through router port forwarding.
I have things setup already right now, using my domain name , pointing at my current static IP issued by the ISP.

But I will be transferring to another ISP and they don't offer static IPs. What's worst is the IPs issued are not only dynamic, but also private (so dynamic dns solution can't help)

So I need a way to maintain my exact setup (and port forwards) on the new ISP and I'm willing to pay for VPN like service if I have to. But I heard routing traffic through VPNs will slow down traffic which is my concern. I'm assuming VPN traffic is slow because of it having to hop around lots of proxy servers? If there was a VPN that just gives you static IP w/o proxy hopping, that would be best. I don't need the privacy, i just need the static IP and speed.

Looking forward to some helpful suggestions.
