Hi All,

I just switched to 2degrees and already regretting it. I selfhost a few services so added a static ip and unblocked firewalled ports on the 2 degrees portal.

At the same time I requested my static IP I also updated my email and that seems to confuse their system no end. I know the static IP is added to my account and I also have the static IP after a few call but I don't have the gateway or subnet mask. Can anybody assist?

IP: 101.98.248.xxx

an nslookup provides:

default-rdns.vocus.co.nz

So if anybody can assist with the Subnet and Gateway that would be epic!

Cheers

Nico

Just FYI - you can self-host all sorts using Cloudflare Tunnel for free: https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/

I've even gone as far as setting up Plex to go via Cloudflare Tunnel on CG-NAT. You just need to ensure with any video streaming you have caching disabled and in passthrough as it is technically against their TOS.

I personally use it also to reduce my attack scope as I don't need to port forward. So even if you're on CG-NAT, with Cloudflare Tunnel it seriously isn't bad.

The Static IP is just handed over to you also. You may need to reboot your router for this to be picked up.

Dis hy! Thanks for the help mate!

Turns out I was a little impatient a few more restarts and DHCP resolved itself to the static IP

Thanks michaelmurfy I'm aware of tunnels I already use cloudflare for dns. But the cloudflare tunnels terms of use is not favorable for streaming and I also don't like to handover this access to a 3rd party.

I only use SSL so the only port I forward is 443. And then have a reverse proxy to only allow known signed certs. I'm okay with my security at the moment and know it can always improve but personally for my use case a static IP behind a Cloudflare dns with firewalls limiting access to only approved countries and ips works great for me.
