haven't heard of L2TP service, but thanks, ill look it up

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.

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

I'll look into these altertnatives, thanks

wow, ok, tnx for the leads.

Free Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel

I've never heard of this one but tnx for the lead!

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)?

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?

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)
