Unsure how to term what I'm after. But being a bit cheap, I've got a GPS Tracking server at home on my domestic ISP connection (spark)....I'm too cheap to pay the $15 a month for a static ip.The GPS tracker that you buy, generally don't have DNS, so they must be set up with an IP address, obviously the more static the better.I did have an AWS version of my server (and had an Azure one for a while based off my work MSDN subscription), but the AWS free tier ended.So I started thinking since some of the network tools for azure or aws remain free if I could assign a public ip address and open a couple of ports, and redirect any traffic to my dynamic ip address at home.So the tracker would have a static IP to play with, and I'd update the end point via api when my dynamic ip address changes.Under azure they have a functions area, which seems to be a web based function, which I could write something that says when traffic on received, forward to destination ip on same port.Or some sort of vpn/virtual network function.Thoughts, or should I just carry on and deal with my dynamic ip (I have an sms gateway at home which can update my gps tracker reletively easy on public IP change).
