Yes port forwarding with everything else works well, I have no problem with port forwarding, running a lot of services from home.

bneu@feddit.de 11 months agoBut does port forwarding work for you, can you access your servers from outside your network?
If not, it’s probably carrier-grade NAT. There are several ways to fix this:
- Call your ISP and ask them to give you your own dynamic IPv4 address.
- Use a service like tailscale (also available in Home Assistant)

Then I don’t know, I’ve set up several Wireguard VPNs on several Fritzboxes and everything works fine.

Dynamic IP is one that changes. I think you meant static IP.
bneu@feddit.de 11 months ago
No, I specifically meant dynamic, because most ISPs only give static IPv4 for business plans, and a dynamic IP is fine if you use a dynamic DNS service (the Fritzbox has one).

If you don’t have a static IP then you will automatically have a dynamic one. You don’t need to ask for a dynamic IP as that is the default. And I’m no idiot, I’ve used dynamic DNS services for for over 20 years.

There is also Carrier Grade NAT, which basically means that you share an IP with other customers, so if you try to access your network from the outside, you will only end up at your ISP’s router, where the network is divided up for a group of customers.
