  Not in the US, at work we pay 6 times the rate I pay at home for 1/6 the speed I get at home, everyone hates our office internet speed 😂, at least it’s static do we can host stuff

  Either use a dynamic DNS service, as many others have mentioned and probably easiest, or, assuming you only want yourself to have access to the services, another option is to use something like Tailscale or a WireGuard/FRP instance in a static VPS as the rendezvous point.

  I was flat out rejected by my ISP to have a static IP, though I only had it changed once since I started hosting services, so ahatever.

  The way a reverse proxy works is to literally stand in the middle of a connection, so either side only sees them communicating with the proxy, oblivious to the actual endpoint. The only “solution” to this, though it’s more of a hack really, is to somehow send the original IP as additional data in a way that both sides agree on, e.g. the X-Forwarded-For header as others have mentioned, however, as I’ve said, both sides need to support and aggree with that, so you may have to find a setting/config to enable on the services behind the proxy. Think of it this way, if services blindly trusted that header and you weren’t using a reverse proxy, a bad actor could send a request to your service with that header included thereby spoofing their identity in your logs, therefore, this kind of thing is usually opt-in
