I called my ISP today to set up a static IP because my services keep being taken down from my IP changing. I either need a business plan or a 5-10gbps residential plan to do that...

I cannot get on the business plan without a valid Business ID so that's not an option. And no way in hell I'm paying for those speeds.

Anyone have any alternatives to stop this from happening so often? My public IP seems to change regularly every 2-3 weeks and it's getting pretty frustrating having to reconfigure things. I only have 2 ISPs in my area and they are both terrible. I assume I'm out of luck, but maybe there's some tech magic I'm unaware of.

I think the default solution for this is to use a dynamic dns. There are services for that or you can get yourself a domain and configure that as dnydns in your router. That is what I am doing atleast

DDNS is the way. Or was, until Tailscale.

Still kinda is. Some devices might not be able to connect to your tailnet. You might be trying to reach your devices from a device that isn't on your VPN. The funnel might work, if you can work within its limitations.
