  It’s almost certainly related to AWS.

  Get a dynamic DNS from afraid.org, they’re great. That’ll make it so you can always find your home network without needing to write down your IP address (especially frustrating if it changes).

  Then run a VPN server and redirect the VPN port from your router to the VPN server.

  It’s not easy, but it’s way, WAY more robust than depending on a 3rd party to keep your info (except for afraid.org and they practically NEVER go down).

    That’ll only work if OP isn’t behind CGNAT though.

      How many people are CGNAT and also no ipv6?

      Actually, I don’t want to know. It’s too damn high.

      Yeah, that’s … that’s a problem. In that situation though, without IPv6 there really isn’t a good solution.

    Dumb question – what happens if afraid.org goes down?

      Just buy a domain for 10-20 a year and host a dynamic IP updater internally. Just another layer to self hosting and getting off cloud services entirely.

      As long as your IP address hasn’t changed any time recently, it will likely have propagated to other DNS providers and you still ought to be able to reach home with the domain name.

  I’m tailing and scaling as we speak.
