Doesn't work if you're behind CGNAT (which I am), unfortunately.
To tell, if your public IP matches what your router/modem reports as its WAN IP, you might be golden. If that's the case, try messing w/ port forwards on your router to see what the ISP lets through. If it's not the case, you're behind CGNAT and either need to pay your ISP ($5-10 usually) or use a VPS. I'm behind CGNAT, so I went for the VPS because it's the same price and I find more value in that vs a publicly routable address.
Ah. Yeah. I think then you'll want to look into cloudflare tunnels. I believe that should get you through the cgnt and deal with the dynamic IP ll in one go.
Yup, cloudflare should work.
I personally set up a VPS w/ a WireGuard tunnel, with a reverse proxy at the VPS that sends traffic to connected WireGuard clients. My exact setup is something like this:
This could easily be adjusted to only have HAProxy work over the WireGuard interface so there are no public addresses to worry about.
But I used Tailscale for a while to solve this problem, and cloudflare tunnels would work as well. Lots of options to work around stupid ISP policies...
