Externally Accessible Public IP address.
Have a look at Tailscale. Free for single users.
Modern VPN built on top of WireGuard, that 'just works'
that wont work for the issue OP is having, they need their network to be externally accessable
The issue may have been solved by now, or the OP may left Smarty, as his original post was on 17th December 2022.
I am the OP, I can confirm this need is still ongoing (and growing)
Since my original post I've now got a second data connection to a router in the car, so three SIMs including my phone and home. I would like to be able to route between these devices using their IP (or DDNS like no-ip) without relying on a 3rd party system like tailscale, or requiring to pay for a hosted server somewhere external to my network to route the traffic. I would also like to access these from the general internet to access self hosted services like my Plex and Nextcloud.
Next year we a looking at getting a camper van..... you see where this is going! 😄
As I said before, I would be prepared to pay a small premium to add this to my package.
Tailscale is good, I've run my own server using headscale for performing the relay.
However, VPN is not always a solution; I need my services to be available to external users without that setup. I assume, is there no way in the APN settings to connect and get an IPv6 address or something like that? I'd be quite glad to ditch my DSL and go 5G with Smarty, but I think this may be a deal-breaker.
stellarpower Just perhaps worth mentioning that if you are using Smarty service for commercial use, that is against T&C's
I'm a personal user, but I need to be able to host my own services as well as work from home, as do many.
