Greetings,

my current ISP refuses to provide me a static IP and they also blocks incoming connection to my ipv6 so I can't host services on just ipv6 too. I will be changing my ISP when the plan expires.

without public IP I can host my own IRC bouncer but I would like to know what else can I self host? Thanks in advance!

So then use dynamic dns? HurricaneElectric offers DynDNS now and it's great. You can update it right over curl if you want. I have it mapped to a cli function;

It's not only not static It's firewalled too! I can't ping it from outside the network

Did you configure NAT to the service(s) and/or DMZ to your internal server in your ISP’s router?

Not allowing even ping seems like it is against any sane networking configuration.

Oh, damn. Not much you can do then. You may be eventually be able to get something outrageously complicated to work, but honestly it's just plain not worth it. Just get a cheap VPS.

Best you could do is a forward server with tailscale and a reverse_proxy, but I've never had any real luck getting that type of setup to work reliably.

You don't want to expose services to the internet
