Context:
Over the past few months, Xfinity has just been causing me so many problems with self-hosting. Not having a static ip isn’t actually that much of a problem for me, I was able to set up a little docker container that automatically changes my dns records when my ip changes. However, pretty frequently, they’ll reset my router/gateway’s firewall configuration, which blocks basically all ipv6 traffic by default, and the other day, they even removed my port forwards while I was away, and hid my server from the port forwarding screen so I couldn’t add them back until I got physical access to the server.
So, I’ve come to the realization that I should probably set up a VPS, since that should solve basically all of my issues. All I want is something that can forward/proxy gigabit traffic to my server, probably over something like wireguard.
To be clear, I still want all of my services to run on my server, I just want the VPS to route the traffic.
And, said VPS preferably has ipv6 in addition to ipv4 access, and gigabit download, though none of those are strict requirements.
Questions:
Are there any issues or limits with this setup that I’m not considering?
Is there a better solution?
Assuming the previous Q’s are fine:
What’s a good VPS provider for this?
What software should I use to actually do the forwarding/proxying?
I checked the other day and you can now re-enable the local web admin interface.
I know, pissed me off when they removed it a while back.
Cocksuckers.
Hmm, that’s some shitty software in there that doesn’t see MOCA properly. Not sure how to work around that.
I don’t think they ever removed it. It’s just… there’s hardly anything there. For example, if you go to the port forwarding page, it says you have to use their app.
