Good question, I will want to host more in the future, im trying to keep costs as low as possible.


Hosting websites over 4g
I have been hosting a few websites from my home server and it has taught me a lot. I have recently had major issues with the electrical storms, Kogan NBN support (Australia), and the NBN network in general. I know 4g is not fast, but I would like to use it so that in the event of a network outage, im not at the mercy of NBN. On to the question! I run pfsense in hyper v with a 4 port nic which passes through those ports to pfsense. I realized that 4g ip addresses are not public, which stops me from hosting the websites. Reading into wireguard and vpn services my plan is to: - Set up a VPS ✅ - Set up wireguard on the VPS ✅ - Create a wireguard connection on my windows server, and pass that in as an interface to pfsense, so that hopefully, I wont need to change to much on my internal infrastructure. Does this sound like an OK plan? I'm open to any other ideas where I can achieve the following: web app >> nginx >> pfsense >> vpn tunnel >> VPS with Public IP (can be dynamic) Thanks!---
