I live in a rural aussie (with no fibre options) area with the worlds shittiest internet and especially bad upload. I been self hosting a bunch of things and simply just struggling through the shit connection.

Will be getting starlink to remedy the internet issue but it seems i need a business (priority) plan to get a public ip so i can access my services from the greater internet. This is however more expensive and i would like to avoid the additional cost if possible.

I was thinking i could wireguard proxy from my server at home to a cheap/free vps to bypass the restrictions but i suspect that would mess with how nginx on my home server manages ports etc. Plus i use my own hardware not just for security but also no recurring costs otehr than power so paying for a vps just to proxy seems like a waste.

Also been having dns issues with duckdns vos dynamic ip starlink seems not to support static ips so how should i resolve this issue.

Any advice or reccommendations?

This is what i was thinking. I dont like the idea that i will have an extra critical failure point. Btw do u know if i can avoid the vps if i do ipv6 and drop ipv4?

I don't think so. But I haven't tried. I use the Starlink as more of a cold failover for when my LTE/5G goes down. $40/mo vs $120/mo for same speeds and LTE/5G has better latency for me. I work (tech) from home and live rural.

With DNS-fu you could have two VPS! I saw a project somewhere for nginx proxy manager that clones the settings. Then your only failure point would be the local tailscale.
