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?
