I posted a slightly different version of this question a couple of days ago, but after doing some research I thought it better to start a new post. But thank you to the responder on my other post.
I have a video streaming device simlar to a Tablo or Slingbox except it's self contained, doesn't need a Cloud server to work.
Previously the device was connected to a router, then set port forwarding in the router, and the router connected to a modem.
Now we have Starlink replacing the modem. Seems to me it should be able to work almost the same except Starlink doesn't have a stable IPv4 address.
To access the device remotely I need to type in the URL of the router with the port number appended to the end, or
http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:YYYY/ or http://<IPv4 address>:<port number>/
So, if I put the Starlink in bypass mode, hook up the router to it, and have my streaming device port forwarded to the router, it should still work like it did before?
The only issue is my IP4 is no longer stable. If the Starlink loses power the IP4 changes. Is that the only time it changes? (Of course if the IPv4 changes randomly during mid stream then it wouldn't work, at least not reliably.)
Regardless, I can remotely check the IP4 using a tunnel, connect-to-my-pc for one, and then, in theory, access my device.
Any reason this won't work?
Also am confused about IPv6. Does Starlink have stable IPv6 addresses? I don't know the details but it appears it's possible to port forward using the IPv6 addresses.
