How do I find out what IPs to give, my IP doesnt stay the same? The local IP is hardly the one they want, it wouldnt make sense I think.

My ISP charges a good chunk for static IP (because they consider it a business connection). However, my $10/mo VPS (which I already had for other projects) has its own static IP and I can easily proxy individual requests through it as needed. Have looked at VPS instances for $5/months before.
Depending on the service, your ISP, and how easily you can change IPs in the registration, as others have mentioned, you could just give them your public. I’ll say my own public does change at least twice a month, so if I can’t automate updating a registration, it goes through VPS or it’s a service I just skip.
This is the way!
I hadn’t even considered this to proxy stuff through, can’t believe it. Thats a great idea.
Definitely something I need to sort out at some point. Cheers.
If all you need is a static IP and a little traffic, there are free-tier or a couple bucks a month vps options. Use SSH to proxy a single port to connect to their service.
