Static IP

[#1]

Evening All,

Am i being typically myopic, or is there no option to request a static IP address (assuming it's still offered)?

Cheers

It is no longer possible to have a static IP applied to your account,  unless you have paid for one in the past.

What were you hoping to achieve with a static IP WAN address ?

All sorts :).

Essentially running a number of services that either running behind a DDNS solution doesn't play nicely, or is at least extra hassle to ensure it stays updated after that random IP change at stupid o'clock in the morning that you weren't aware of.  And various other reasons such as corporate proxies not liking them, and pretty much every rotating ISP assigned IP address being on some kind of block list or other...

Have you considered using an L2TP service,

to give you both a static IPv4 address and IPv6 IP block (giving you IPv6 networking on your Plusnet LAN).

It had been a thought, but I didn't really want another subscription service, faaar too many of those already :).
