    My isp doesn’t allow self hosting (available to WAN). Isn’t that a pretty common condition in ToS for most ISPs?

      I’ve never bothered to check, because I self host to serve 1-5 users, and I’ve never generated enough traffic for any ISP to notice. I would need to pay them more for a static IP address, but we have dynamic DNS services for that. My ISP doesn’t put any actual obstacles in place beyond dynamic IP.

      Here we have net neutrality so they legally can’t restrict what you’re doing with your connection, unless it’s illegal or if you are doing stupid shit like messing with their infrastructure.

      CGNAT is decently common though and that can restrict your self hosting capabilities substantially, but you can work around it if you want.

      Have you looked into setting up a reverse proxy? If you haven’t already, check out Traefik or Ngnix.

        I have not. I’ve only just started exploring self hosting and am quite a novice. Thanks for the lead!
