I would like to avoid running anything thru Tailscale.

A quick google turns up plenty of results for providers that claim to offer a fixed IP not hiding behind CGNAT. I like three generally, so maybe they’re the option…

Really? Even with a specific IoT data provider?

Fair point — data only, probably around 200mb a month? Planning to run a simple web server, nothing too heavy.

It’s way to expensive to be anything other than a novelty.

Anyone in the UK ordered or tried one of these yet?

Using this as a NAS would be an odd choice indeed - it’s unequivocally a router.
