This was great. I wish Starlink actually provided a dish+modem service exactly like this and real IPv4 not CGNAT nonsense. I think they do for business plans which are much more expensive though.

You can tunnel through Starlink to get a public IP. Not 100% efficient due to MTU reduction and the extra hop to the tunnel end, but it works.

This is the name of the game in new ISPs. You can’t get v4 block purchases approved without a good address utilization plan. Giving a public IP to every residential customer doesn’t really pass muster anymore as a good use of v4 space.
