Comment on ISP won't set up static IP - Services keep going down
StrawberryPigtails@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
I solved it with a cheap VPS running Caddy as a reverse proxy and a Tailscale connection back to my home server.
I think Tailscale has a service called Tailscale Serve which may work around a frequently changing ip as well. Not sure though as I haven’t looked into it much.

Why not run just the VPN on the VPS instead of opening everything directly?

Not sure I understand. The VPN (Tailscale) is on the VPS.
I have several very technically challenged family members that wanted to use a couple of the services that I host. Doing it this way simplifies the setup and the tech support calls. The VPS, or rather a domain name that leads to the VPS, is how they access those services.
I have Tailscale setup on all my personal devices, so I generally just connect directly to the services.
