Options for Static IP?

[TinTinSnowy]

Hi,

I need a Static IP to lock down some parts of a website to my IP address using Cloudflare Firewall. I am seeing no option to get a static IP in the consumer plans of JioFiber. What are my options? I am thinking between dynamic dns or tunneling through a VPN. But both of these options add a moving parts (complexity) to my setup which I don't like. Static IP would have been simple. What do you guys suggest? Thank you!

Why not put those parts of your website behind authentication? Cloudflare has something called Identity.

@wheatbread I am using HTTP Auth on those pages right now. HTTP auth user password can be leak. IP based protection will ensure that those pages cannot be accessed outside of the network/whitelisted IPs. I will look into Identity.

Run this in a vm/container, GitHub - cloudflare/cloudflared: Cloudflare Tunnel client (formerly Argo Tunnel)
Use cloudflared for default egress, Install nginx on it and proxy traffic to all other internal apps. Doesn't require static/public IP and don't have to open any ports.

@TinTinSnowy Nginx proxy manager has option for IP White/Blacklisting

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I went with Tailscale for SSH and using a script to update my IP address in Cloudflare Firewall via their API.
