The problem

Why your ISP says no

Most home ISPs hand out addresses that change. Ask for a static one and the answer is usually that it is for business customers only: a business plan plus a monthly fee for the IP, sometimes with a contract.

Many ISPs also use CGNAT, where one public IP is shared by many homes. Cable, fiber, 5G home internet and Starlink all do this in places. Behind CGNAT even a "static" address would be shared, and port forwarding on your router does nothing, because outside traffic never reaches it.

Check in one minute: open your router's status page and find its WAN or internet IP. Then open a what-is-my-IP site. If the two differ, or the WAN address is between 100.64.0.0 and 100.127.255.255, you are behind CGNAT. No router setting will open a port for you.

How it works

A static IP that does not come from your ISP

GetAStatic gives you a dedicated public IPv4 on our own network. You run the WireGuard app on the device that needs it, and the device makes an outgoing connection to us. Its traffic leaves from your IP, and connections to your IP come back down the same tunnel.

Because your device opens the tunnel, your ISP does not have to do anything. CGNAT, a locked ISP router or a changing home IP make no difference. Keep any plan you like, switch ISPs or move house: the IP stays the same.

Setup

Example: a small home server

Say you run a web app at home and also want to reach your home network while you are away. Install WireGuard on the machine that runs them; a mini PC or Raspberry Pi works.

  1. Sign up and note your new IP in the dashboard.
  2. Open the ports your server listens on, for example 443 TCP for the web app and 51820 UDP for your own WireGuard server.
  3. Download the config, import it into WireGuard on the server and turn the tunnel on.
  4. Point your domain's DNS A record at the new IP, or connect to YOUR-IP:port directly.
  5. Test from outside your home, for example from a phone on mobile data.
PortProtocolUsed for
443TCPWeb app (HTTPS)
51820UDPYour own WireGuard server, for remote access to your LAN

Every port starts closed. Open only what you use, in the dashboard, with no ticket.

Good to know

What to know first

  • It is a datacenter IP in Kansas City, Missouri or San Jose, California, USA, not a residential IP from your ISP's area. Sites will see that city as your location, and if you live far away, traffic takes the long way and adds latency.
  • Speed is capped per plan, the same up and down: 20 Mbps on Plus, 100 Mbps on Pro, 1 Gbps on Ultra.
  • Bandwidth counts upload and download: 100 GB on Plus, 1 TB on Pro, 5 TB on Ultra per month. Going over pauses the tunnel until the monthly reset or an upgrade.
FAQ

Questions, answered.

01Is this the same as a business static IP from my ISP?

No. A business static IP comes with the line into your building. This is a tunnel: the IP lives on our network and reaches your device over WireGuard, so it works on any connection, anywhere.

02Will it slow down my whole connection?

Only the device running WireGuard uses the tunnel; the rest of your home is not touched. That device's traffic goes through Kansas City, Missouri or San Jose, California and is capped by your plan, for example 20 Mbps on Plus or 100 Mbps on Pro.

03Can I keep the IP if I move or change ISP?

Yes. The IP is not linked to your ISP or your address. Connect the same device at the new place and the tunnel comes back up on the same IP.

04Do I need to change anything on my router?

No. The WireGuard app on one device is enough, and no port forwarding is needed. If you want every device on your network to use the IP, run WireGuard on the router instead (OpenWrt, pfSense, OPNsense, MikroTik or GL.iNet).
