Just contact your ISP to get a public IP. You might not get a static IP, but you can configure a dhcp client to request your old IP when reconnecting after a power outage. Set DNS TTL reasonably low like 12 hours so that you can recover if you do get another IP.
Another way is to signup for a cheap VPS and use a tunnel to your home server. There's lots of really cheap VPS's with 128MB of memory that is plenty if you just want a tunnel.

- z3t4 3y agoThe problem is the lack of IPv4 addresses. IPv4 addresses are ridiculous expensive. And most people don't need a public address so ISP save a ton of money by using NAT. I don't know if they must give you one or not if you ask, but I think a public IP address should be a human right, or you should at least be able to change to an ISP that can provide one.
