Hi, this is my first post on this subreddit. I've been self-hosting various applications (Syncthing, Pi-hole, Navidrome, Jellyfin, Actual...) for almost two years now, and I want to take a step forward by accessing my resources from the public Internet.

I've been researching for one year about topics like port forwarding, reverse proxying, setting up VPN, and moving to a VPS; and I recently started trying Microsoft Azure's Standard B1s VM. However, I can't devise an acceptable and satisfactory solution.

These are some of my concerns:

• I don't want to apply for static IP and port forward from my router to my modem to the public Internet.
• I need a sustainable solution since most VPS providers are too pricey for me.

​

I'm open to every type of suggestion; you can criticize my concerns, too :)
