Static external IP (for free) using external services?

Is it possible to get a static external ip adress using external services (such as ngrok for example) for free and especially long term and not changing?

Already thanks in advance!

You can ask your ISP, but it might not be free (or even available on a residential connection).

 

The supply of IPv4 addresses is very limited.

 

I think you can get a public address from Oracle Cloud, but you're "limited" to 10 TB of transfer per month.

You're better off setting up dynamic DNS.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

Setup a dynamic dns service, they do what you want but instead of entering in an ip address, you enter in a url. No-ip is the one I use, you do get one for free, though you need to remember to renew it ever 1-2 months.

Not without one being allocated from your ISP.

 

Best option is to set up Dynamic DNS to give yourself a DNS record that points to whatever your current external IP is and use that instead. I use Dyanmic DNS for remote VPN access to my own network, works well.

Asus routers have their own Dynamic DNS, free.
