Inexpensive Hosing for a Ubiquiti UXG-Lite potentially near Seattle, WA.
So I live in Western Alaska and I have a Peplink Router with a bonded link that lands in Seattle. I have a 2nd public IP in Manila. I'm looking to add a https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/uxg-lite as a redundant SD-WAN anchor point. There will be no devices on the LAN side. And all I need on the WAN side is a public IPv4 address, it can be either a static or DHCP assigned address. Preference would be someone close to the Seattle area TTL wise as my bonded link will communicate with the device and Manila.
This will have near zero traffic demand. As it is mostly used as a private VoIP for my own property. AirBNB units in Alaska and Asia.
Anyone have a space and a spare public IP. I can't justify renting 1U rackspace, power and port fees.
Anyone have a suggestion who might be interested?

Is this now new fancy way asking for "residential IP proxy/VPN" ?
What price point would you consider reasonable?
Do you absolutely need a static IP, or just a few ports passed through?
Is there a preference for a particular genre of IP (eg: Quantum Fiber, Xfinity/Comcast, Ziply Fiber, one of the small residential Seattle ASNs, etc)?
It sets up the SD WAN and yes static IP no. Public IP yes. It will really have near zero traffic. So looking more that is is connected and fairly low latency than the capacity. As It's more of a broadcaster of how to get there/maintain connections between points than actual device that physically routes traffic.
Maybe @SmartHost or @PureVoltage can help you here. They have both presence in Seattle
@ColoCrossing maybe? they do per u colo in wowrack
Not used as a Proxy/VPN. As I stated it primarily an Anchor point for SD WAN. With VoIP traffic being the primary use, other than network monitoring. There are times that I just need to be able to pick up the phone and dial out on my physical phone line in Asia. And I have phones in the USA when someone dials Management, it dials me vs my Local Agent.
And I can't recall the last time a guest even called me directly, 99.99% of the time the local agent has any situation well cared for. But there are times when there is network maintenance and my Asia public IP is unavailable. And then the SD WAN goes down. Thus I'm looking for a potential home for a redundant SD WAN anchor.
That's what you state.. Until someone that hosts this for you get's door knocked by 20 armed men. Not saying your are "bad actor" I am just saying no one sane will do this for you on their own, private internet/property.
Then again, they elected Trump so who knows..

I’m genuinely surprised by the response. My request has nothing to do with politics, and there is no scenario in which “20 armed men” would be showing up. I’m not running a proxy service for myself or anyone else. The goal is simply to use SD-WAN so that a phone can be plugged in and register via an internal IP address—nothing more.
I had hoped someone might be able to suggest a practical, cost-effective solution. It seems this forum may not be the right place for that, but I’ll continue looking for a workable option elsewhere.
Thank you for your time, and I apologize for any confusion.

Hello ChatGPT, you need to keep in mind that everyone on this forum is extremely skeptical of these types of requests in general.
I guess you could get a vps and setup wireguard on it or could a local ISP work?
Like mentioned above, get a vps in Seattle and use Tailscale to tunnel yourself outbound to the vps.
Also look at this
https://www.peplink.com/services/software/virtual-appliance-fusionhub-solo/
So you shouldn't need to host the ubiquiti for it to work
Yes I asked ChatGPT to polish up my tone and I was offended by other posts tone and off base accusations. And I wanted to make sure that my tone remained professional. And I was yet again the recipient of negative comments.
No the Ubiquiti Routers have their own wireguard based SD WAN aka look up Site Magic I do not need a VPS/Local ISP. The problem is a minimum of one node needs to have a public IP. I have that covered with a DSL static IP in Asia. I was just wanting to add some redundancy. As the DSL at times is prone to outages, power hits, typhoons and the latest outage was electrical maintenance.
Thanks for several suggestions, but what I need is a public IPv4 on a tiny device reasonably priced, not a 1U rack, port and power. The bottom of rack plugged into the wall would be sufficient.
I already bond thee connections two primary one 5G standby in Western Alaska via a PepLink B One 5G bonded to a VPS in Seattle running FusionHub over Starlink. I have all Ubiquiti routers and use SD WAN{aka Site Magic/wireguard}. And I have also dabbled with Tailscale. But you still need a separate device to step from TS to the LAN in each location.
I did some research and I guess it is possible to configure a Peplink FusionHub that has access to two subnets to tunnel a full public IP to a device on the far end of the tunnel. So I guess I will abandon the thought of a host for a physical device and focus on either working with my current vps provider hosting my FusionHub appliance or find another provider that is compatible with the appliance that can also provision two small subnets for the VPS.
A harder solution and more configuration than plugging the device in a Ethernet with Public IPv4 and it shows up as ready to add into the SD WAN and if Manila fails the SD WAN remains up.
If I had access to an ISP that did not want to charge a fortune for their services I would ask them. But we are in bush Alaska aka we are not connected to the North American road system and for 26 remote sites at work and 7 local sites the ISP charges 109 Million/Year! They are the only game in town thus I was hoping to find someone with. a spare static IP, small business, Techie with circuit. As I can't put the device into my work's co-location facility.
I don't think "bond" is the correct word.
It's unclear what you actually need but I'm 100% certain you're overcomplicating this. That's why you come off as North Korean sketchy as just having a US residential IP with a physical device.
VOIP is free SIP to SIP. You'd also remove a lot of overhead and gain more features using a virtual PBX. I worked for a company that used that and it was cheap and easy to use.
This functionality is also just built in from VOIP devices from OBi.
Anyway, if you can better explain the use case, I'm sure we can recommend a simpler solution than using Ubiquiti routers in datacenters.
I'm not North Korean, And yes I have three SIP trunks, a legacy Oregon number, and two test/dev numbers, that land on a Yeastar S20 in Manila my 1st property in Asia. I have DSL with a static IP and a local Manila number delivered via DSL to an RJ-11 POTS number. And occasionally I have a need to call a landline, bank, attorney or business that Wi-Fi handoff and a Philippine Cell number in the USA does not work as well as picking up the handset and dialing xxx-xxxx and showing up as 02 7719-xxxx. 02 Manila Landline.
And yes I can host my existing Yeastar S20 as a virtual appliance. The problem is buying a Physical S20 is much more economically viable. Just the S20 License per year costs more that a physical S20 pro-rated over 2 years. And then you have to pay someone to host it. So what it costs to fully virtualize the PDX increases the cost four fold. And yes it's possible to install a FXO and move the physical line to SIP.
What I have works well I have a Ubiquiti Router in each property. I can monitor the number of connections, drops, usage, be notified of outages. Even before guests notify me of an outage. Do remote speed tests etc. etc.
And yes I really have no need to throw a router into a data center other than to add a 2nd public IP. But I'm going to add two more routers as the number of properties has grown to 4.
I was hoping for a suggestion of someone who might be willing to host a device closer to home. With my bonded connection landing in Seattle. But everyone is convinced I'm a criminal, a ChatGPT bot, looking for a residential proxy/vpn. I have my own streaming accounts in Asia by the way they are cheap and there is not need to try and proxy and try for fool a Streaming Service.
So now that I have told everyone on the list 99% of the details i'm still down to the need for a public IP landed on a Ubiquiti device someplace if I want to and redundancy.
Asia Router #2 CGNAT not public IP unless I purchase a business account.
Asia Router #3 also CGNAT
Asia Router #4 unknown the assumed to be CGNAT
Alaska Starlink #1 GCNAT
Alaska Starlink #3 CGNAT
Alaska 5g/LTE Cell NAT 10.xx.xx.xx IP
So I'm happy with seeing all my routers in a single pane of glass. And I have had a couple of suggestions that I do WG.
I'm stuck with most ISP's in the Philippines are not delivered via single fiber to a CGNAT modem. And the will not bypass their modem, nor deliver a public IP.
I will try and delete this post tomorrow. I believe that I was 100% on topic that I was looking for a host for a Ubiquiti Gateway with the the only requirement that it have a public IPv4 address. I do not care how how the block is registered as ASN.
Like I said evidently hosting a physical device as a redundant SD WAN what I call an Anchor point on a public IP is not something that is possible. And yes I'm aware that Ubiquiti offers Ubiquiti OS. That will manage, switches and access points and the lot but will not provide an Anchor Point for their Site Magic{SD WAN}. I have a Test/Dev Ubiquiti OS instance currently spun up and I have updated it to the bleeding edge, it will will not support Site Magic. That seems to be reserved only for specific hardware gateway devices per the documentation.
Or I would not be asking on this list. Which turns out has been the least helpful of any message board I have ever contacted in my entire IT Career. And the level of hostility out of the gate was like wow what is with the list members. Several owe me an apology for being down rite rude to me for no valid reason.
OK so you asked for details the facts still remain the straight forward easy solution is a physical device somewhere/anywhere with a public IPv4. I'm sorry but I live 400 miles out of town, the local ISP should be in jail for extortion in my opinion. And I really do not have any viable local options. And the options for my four homes in the Manila area are also all but one delivered as CGNAT. And the joy is my wife told me she wants to make an offer on the house on the corner..... And tomorrow is the 30 day anniversary of the last home purchase. I still have not received the building permit for the perimeter fence and carport additions. The widow security grates are in process....
Way way more details than necessary. But as this point I really do not care as I know that this list will never be of any value. And I'm looking forward to chalking this up to a stupid idea of hey a hosing/talk forum might be of value.
But I have been called a criminal, a North Korean {Way off base, I'm of German Heritage, 3rd Generation White American Boy, I do have a lovely Filipina Wife who is now a US Citizen (100% by the book K-1 Visa, Background check in 4 countries, Green Card, Citizenship Exam). She flew to the USA presented her passport to CBP and surrendered her sealed medical history. CBP took the medial records and stamped her passport and said welcome to the USA. And a daughter with dual citizenship, by the book.
