I don't have static, you only get dhcp
with residential, just in the past you could add other static
addresses. Apparently at some point they stopped doing that to
herd you to top-tier packages/bundles, or business services.
Honestly, since they stopped blocking tcp/443 for https access,
it's all I really need. It allows me to run my sslvpn outside on
not a weird port, so money for me. I connect vpn to my firewall,
and access everything I need behind it. I don't need "static"
addressing either, I use dynamic dns to register my external
address, and cname my vpn record to the ddns record. Voila!
I pay 10/mo for a digital ocean server if I need to host something
on http. I don't want public services having a hole into my house
least of all.
