    My isp doesn’t allow self hosting (available to WAN). Isn’t that a pretty common condition in ToS for most ISPs?

      I’ve never bothered to check, because I self host to serve 1-5 users, and I’ve never generated enough traffic for any ISP to notice. I would need to pay them more for a static IP address, but we have dynamic DNS services for that. My ISP doesn’t put any actual obstacles in place beyond dynamic IP.

      Have you looked into setting up a reverse proxy? If you haven’t already, check out Traefik or Ngnix.

        I have not. I’ve only just started exploring self hosting and am quite a novice. Thanks for the lead!
