Does anyone have a full guide on how to host a web server behind a Starlink connection?

I manage to host web servers on IPv4 connections but I am pretty lost with IPv6. I don’t want to use a VPS or anything external.

My Starlink router is in bypass mode and I use a TP-Link AX3000 router

  • I have disabled the TP-Link router firewall
  • I have enabled IPv6 address in the router settings
  • I host a webserver (nginx) on my laptop and can access the page (on http://[::1]). No HTTPS set-up for the moment
  • I have disable ufw on my laptop
  • I have set-up a AAAA record on No-IP with the IPv6 address I get from https://test-ipv6.com/

It’s not working!

Which IPv6 address am I supposed to provide on No-IP, the one of my router or my laptop?!

I also have multiple IPv6 adresses on my laptop, which one should be used and why?

2: wlp1s0:  mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 48:e7:da:0e:52:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.10/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global noprefixroute wlp1s0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 2a0d:3344:89:e00:1287:789:2313:f88a/64 scope global temporary dynamic 
       valid_lft 295sec preferred_lft 295sec
    inet6 2a0d:3344:89:e00:132:2409:c6d:ce09/64 scope global dynamic mngtmpaddr noprefixroute 
       valid_lft 295sec preferred_lft 295sec
    inet6 fe80::6259:1c60:1deb:705e/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Thanks

      If I look at that screenshot it looks like you can define specific rules? The only problem i see is that you’re using link-local (fe80:: address) as the Local IP, that should be the stable global one (2a0d:xxxx:3040).
