Instantly launch your favorite internet appliance with just a click using Cloud Seeder, our open-source server appliance platform for everyone, or use your skills and manually setup a home server lab. With IPv6rs, you will have the external IP you need to self host on your home computer or mobile device.
$10 a month, or $60 for a year, or $80 for 2 years.
Seems they give you an externally routable IP6 address, and then make that route to your home network, where you still have to run the server. They do have an app which is meant to make it easier to install podman containers for whatever service you want to run. For some reason, they call those “appliances”. Not a fan of that word.
Before anyone jumps in to say, “Pffft. I do this now for free” - this isn’t aimed at you then, is it? It’s aimed at making it possible for less technical people to self-host some of their digital life, which is a good thing in general, in my mind. Kind of like how Linux needed more user-friendly distros for the masses to increase adoption. Good on them, I say, and good luck.
$10 per month and all you get is 5 IPv6 addresses (I assume that’s what they mean by “5 Static Visible IPv6 Tunnels”)? What a shameless scam.
Edit: Though maybe you’re paying for the “Tier-1 (as in ISP?) Bandwidth”. But if they want me to take them seriously, they need to give me a /64 prefix instead of a measly 5 addresses.
Yeah, tunnelbroker.net is what I use. It works behind NAT too, and they even give you a /48! For free!
To be clear I wouldn’t mind paying for guaranteed speeds because the he.net tunnel can be a bit slow at times. My problem with this is that they don’t give you a /64 which basically makes it useless for anything but the “host a couple services” use case. Most people who would consider this, including me, probably don’t have IPv6 connectivity from their ISP at all and would like to get routable IPv6 address space for their home network.

If you aren’t behind NAT and know how to handle your own networking you can get free IPs from HE.net. That’s the easiest way.
I use ipv6rs because in my case it’s cheaper than using a vps since there aren’t any bandwidth caps and I only use 3 IPs (jellyfin and *arr).
