Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address?

• iii@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Static IP is helpfull but not necessary. Even with NAT and a changeing IP there’s options, such as:

  1. dynamic dns.
  2. Public reverse proxy or tunnel.
  3. Onion routing.

    1. How do you open the https port behind a nas?
    2. That public tunnel needs at least a public IP address again.
    3. Ok, forgot that one. But then you’re only accessible through Tor, isn’t it?

      1. Port forwarding
      2. Yes, and there’s services that do that for you

        You can’t port-forward if you sit behind a nat.
