Does anyone know of any alternatives to hoppy.network? I can’t seem to find any other services that do what Hoppy does. (Hoppy uses wireguard to assign publicly-accessible static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to devices)

What’s your end goal? Some combination of ddns or cloud+headscale may accomplish what you’re looking for.

I’m looking to maybe replace my VPS with something like Hoppy and a Raspberry Pi (I imagine the Pi 5 8GB might be stronger than anything I can get for $8/m). I have a static public IP anyway, but I’d rather not host websites and stuff using that.

If I’m understanding you correctly, I think the self hosted gateway thing linked here does what you want reddit.com/…/reverse_proxy_wireguard_tunnel_from_…

Host your own Wireguard endpoint on any cloud provider. They give you elastic IPs that you can create 1:1 NATs for your hosts. Maybe not quite as clean, but effectively the same thing.

Hmm. It’s kind of just a VPN. It tunnels your traffic and terminates it at some server. It’s just that NordVPN makes you share an IP with other users and doesn’t offer port forwarding. But the rest of Hoppy isn’t unique.
I rented a VPS and installed wireguard myself. And created the firewall rules to forward (some) incoming traffic to my home server. That’s the same thing Hoppy does. Just that Hoppy does the setup of the firewall and Wireguard for you.
But I’m not aware of any similar services that do it automatically.

Thank you.
I guess this is the missing piece for me. I’ve already got all of my devices and VPSes setup with Tailscale, I’m just not sure which software to use that can do this forwarding.
I know Tailscale Funnels, Cloudflare Tunnels, and Caddy could be solutions for some, but in my experience they only do TCP or restrict what sort of traffic can be forwarded.

iptables or nftables. Or firewalld depending on the Linux distro and version you use.
Sometimes the Arch Wiki has some good info on specific configurations. I mean it’s not that easy to write firewall rules on the command line. But it’s no rocket science either.

Based on your description, it kind of just sounds like tailscale.
