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.
I’ve never heard of this one but tnx for the lead!
You might not even need it, depending on where you are in the world. Starlink assigns IPv6 addresses differently than they assign IPv4 addresses, so you could potentially use dynamic DNS as long as you stick to IPv6 for all of your services. Still a violation of the Starlink TOS, of course, but who hasn’t engaged in a little light TOS violation from time to time?
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
