Hi, I live in Germany and only have public IPv6. My address changes only very, very rarely and has never changed in the time I’ve been self-hosting.
I also have a very small, pretty cheap VPS with static IPv4/IPv6 – which would seem like a great fit for some sort of tunneling/proxy setup. Now comes the question: What/how should I use it? I would like to not have the additional latency for IPv6 enabled hosts, can I just setup a reverse proxy for IPv4? Would Tailscale work for my usecase, what are some resources you found useful when using it?
Currently, I’m just hosting everything IPv6-only and hoping my address never changes, but that does not work for everyone, as especially many new buildings with fiber optic connections still only have IPv4 (strangely).
I have a VPS hosted on Digital ocean with Nginx running as proxy, I use openvpn to connect to the VPS and access all my services over the VPS ip address.
I own a domain and forward all the requests from my domain to the Home server IP from my VPS, very useful because I can use different subdomains for different services all on port 80 or 443 even though the service is running on random port.
