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

Nico Zandberg van wellington? hello 😎

 

 

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

 

 

 

michaelmurfy:

 

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..

 

 

 

 

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.
