The VPS-plus-WireGuard recipe works, but you build and maintain it. GetAStatic runs the server side for you: a dedicated public IPv4, ports you open from a dashboard, and nothing to patch.
Updated
Same end result: a public IPv4 whose ports reach your home machine.
| Feature | VPS you run | GetAStatic |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | A few dollars + your time | From $2/mo |
| Setup time | An hour+: keys, NAT rules | Minutes: one config |
| Maintenance and patching | Yours: updates, firewall | None: we run it |
| Your own IPv4 | Yes, one per VPS | Yes, dedicated to you |
| Open ports | Any, with NAT rules you write | 5 on Plus, unlimited on Pro |
| Also a VPN for the device | Only if you set it up | Yes, traffic leaves from your IP |
VPS prices change with the host, the region and the traffic you use.
The guides all follow one plan. Rent a small cloud server, install WireGuard on it and connect your home machine. Then write firewall rules so traffic to the server's public IP is sent down the tunnel to your home.
That means a key pair for each side, forwarding switched on, and address-rewriting (NAT) rules for each port and for the replies, plus a keepalive and rules that survive a reboot. After that, the server is yours to patch like any public machine.
Plus for light use, Pro for most people, Ultra for full gigabit.
5× speed · 10× bandwidth · 2 IPs — only $2/mo more
GetAStatic gives you the same end result with the server side run for you: a dedicated public IPv4 in Kansas City, Missouri or San Jose, California, a WireGuard config we generate, and a dashboard where you open or close ports per IP. Your home machine connects out on UDP 1194 or 443 (443 for networks that block 1194), and the keepalive is already set. See what is in the config.
It is a VPN too: your device's traffic leaves from that IP. One standard config works on PCs, servers, routers and phones. Get your IP from $2/mo and open your first port in minutes, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Example: a web server, SSH, and your own WireGuard server, all on one home machine.
| Port | Protocol | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 443 | TCP | Web server (HTTPS) |
| 22 | TCP | SSH |
| 51820 | UDP | Your own WireGuard server |
Plus allows 5 open ports; Pro and Ultra have unlimited open ports. A range counts as its size.
Get a static IP that is delivered over WireGuard. GetAStatic gives you a dedicated public IPv4 and a config. Import the config on your server or router and open the ports you need on the dashboard. The tunnel connects out, so it works behind CGNAT, and there is no server for you to run.
Sometimes, if your time is free. A VPS gives you root and any location. You also set up the tunnel, write a NAT rule for each port, and patch the server. GetAStatic starts at $2/mo, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Yes. The two tunnels are independent. Our config sends all of a device's traffic through our tunnel, so run them on different devices, or make sure the VPS tunnel only carries its own subnet.
Most VPN providers share each IP among many users and give you one random high port, if any. Here the IP is yours alone, and you choose the ports, TCP or UDP, including 22, 80 and 443.
Yes. Open 51820 UDP (or whatever port your server uses) and set your clients' endpoint to YOUR-IP:51820. Your server's tunnel then runs inside ours.
