    It's not working fine for me! kitty-cri-screm I need a static address and they quoted me $200/mo for an IPv4 one.

        DDNS doesn't work behind CGNAT. Never heard of ngrok; google says it might work. I'm trying to do something with WireGuard.

          Cloudflare tunnel (aka a reverse proxy, like ngrok) will also likely work for your mystery project, and it’s free. VPN is more secure, but as always, it's a trade-off between the security of a vpn and the convinence of a reverse proxy that's available on the open internet.

            A reverse proxy like nginx?

            Basically, I want to move files between my NAS (behind CGNAT) and webserver and rsync isn't cutting it. I think WireGuard will be best, then I can use my existing NFS and Kerberos infrastructure.

              Do you need a static IP or could you get away with using dynamic DNS like duckdns? I think wireguard allows you to use a hostname instead of IP address. The wireguard peers would have static private IPs in the VPN address space. I had a much simpler setup than you, but this is what I was doing before tailscale.

                A dynamic IP would work; I just need an IP that is unique to my router and isn't shared by a dozen other households---I don't know what the term for that is.

                There is a way to make it work with WireGuard using something called MASQUERADE, I'm learning.

      Just torrent a bunch and I think they give you a static address so that they can potentially suenyou later.

      My IP hasn't changed in years.

      Mine told me I can have gigabit fiber, or static IP on 50mb/s copper, but not both, because something something piracy.
