DynamicDNS will get you there without having to pay for VPS host traffic prices for ingress though.
Comment on A noob question about VPSs and bandwidth
chriscrutch@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIt’s the ISP. I’ve asked about it, they won’t let me do anything about it unless I sign up for a business account at triple the price.
And no, I don’t need a VPS strictly for Tailscale, but i do want to access my tailnet from machines where I cannot install Tailscale (at work and on a roku tv in a remote location, specifically).

This won’t work, your wan ip isn’t dynamic, it’s on the ISP NAT network and your resulting ip to public services is shared across many customers. CG-NAT.

It will with Tailscale though, as OP mentioned using. Tailscale clients reach out to DERP endpoints to create the routes they need to communicate with other clients. dNAT wouldn’t matter.

I don’t know where you work but don’t access your tailnet from a work device and ideally not their network.
Speaking to roku, you could buy a cheap raspberri pi and usb network port. One port to the network the other to roku. The pi can have a tailscale advertised network to the roku, and the roku probably needs nothing since everything is upstream including private tailscale 100.x.y.z networks which will be captured by your device in the middle raspberri pi.
I guess that’d cost like 40 ish dollars one time.
