Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP
Clusterfck@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks agoMost ISPs (especially smaller ones it seems) just run a basic DHCP server with leases expiring at a set interval. As long as your stuff is on and working when the lease renews, you’ll pull the same IP forever.

As long as you don’t want to run a mail server. DHCP ranges are cancer to ip reputation.

I’m pretty sure you don’t want a mail server at home

I have 3 mail servers at home

My ISP blocks the ports needed for mail hosting :/
Pretty sure I’d have to go through them to get the rdns PTR records pointed at my domain too. PITA

Mine did too, all it took was a ticket to their helpdesk to get it unblocked
