Does your ISP allow you to host your own server for a small website without paying for a commercial plan? I recently moved and my new ISP doesn’t allow the port to be open.

    It’s a hard set closed port inbound for serving. I’m not sure a different router will work but I will look into it. At my prior residence I had fiber to the home and a direct Ethernet connection, so I was able to run my own firewall, control the ports, and have a commercial switch for all the computers. I miss my guaranteed asynchronous 1000/1000 connection. Now even with a Gig plan I’m lucky to get 300/30.

      Have a look in to Cloudlfare Tunnels. You install a client on your server and point the tunnel at the relevant IP address and port, so it might work. That would require your DNS to be managed by Cloudflare though.
