Hi, I am creating a server with port forwarding for personal use (I know the risks of port forwarding) And I need to make a static IP. How should I acatualy chose the IP?

Clone the existing IP address and change the last bank to any number between 002 and 254. It can be literally any number you want, just be careful to not pick one already in use.

You can’t set your own public IP, that is assigned by your ISP.

 

You will want to use something like noip.com which is a dynamic IP DNS forwarded. Works great, have used it for at least a decade.

Why did you mark your OWN post an the answer while you quoted someone in it?
Cant you mark the answer for the post that actually had the answer?

(Ive never had to use it so im curious)

With my ignorance now it looks like you are trying to 'up' your own profile (altho it doesnt work like that).

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

Not willing to capitulate to the ignorance of the masses!

This would be for an internal LAN IP, not a WAN IP (which I assume is what he is referring to as he is talking about port forwarding for remote WAN access).

No problem. Noip.com is what you want. They have windows clients (I think?) and Debian clients which is what I use for raspberry pies and Ubuntu server. Then instead of using an IP to hit your server, you use the DNS address much like you would any website; remember every website has an IP address, but it’s a lot easier to remember google.com then a ipv4 string :). You will just be doing the same thing.

Nah, if OP is looking to port forward then they mean internal IP. The remote PC needs to be forwarded to the servers internal IP address through the routers firewall.

Ok, yes that is true.... but setting an internal IP is the “easy part”. You can set that on the box itself or in the router.

 

The “harder” part is knowing what the public IP is when your trying to remotely hit the box.
