SteadIP has launched a dedicated IPv4 over WireGuard service designed to provide homelab users, developers, and small businesses with clean, stable public IPv4 addresses without requiring changes to their existing ISP connections. The service addresses common networking challenges including changing ISP addresses, CGNAT restrictions, and limited inbound connectivity that affect modern home and small office networks.
The company delivers dedicated public IPv4 addresses through encrypted WireGuard tunnels, enabling both reliable outbound egress for IP allowlists and inbound access to self-hosted services. According to founder Maxime Labelle, the goal is to make dedicated public IPv4 accessible for legitimate, long-term use cases such as homelabs and small business workloads that require stable inbound access and predictable outbound IP allowlisting.
SteadIP offers two inbound connectivity options tailored to different customer needs. Selected Port Forwarding is ideal for exposing only specific TCP/UDP ports like SSH, HTTPS, or game servers. Forward All Ports (1:1 NAT) is available on higher-tier plans for users who need broad inbound reachability for labs, appliances, or SMB environments. WireGuard implementation makes the experience fast and straightforward across routers, servers, and desktops according to the company.
Beyond dedicated IP allocation, the service includes optional hostname support under steadip.com, allowing customers to assign memorable names to their dedicated IP addresses. Customers can also add extra dedicated IPv4 addresses as needed for separating environments, services, or allowlists, providing flexibility for growing needs.
The service is available immediately with plans starting at $5 per month or $50 annually, including a dedicated IPv4 and selected port forwarding. Pro plans offer higher traffic allowances, additional device support, and Forward All Ports capabilities. The infrastructure is designed for always-on services with fast uplinks and predictable bandwidth allowances, making it easier for users to run self-hosted applications from anywhere.
This launch represents a significant development for individuals and small organizations facing connectivity limitations, providing enterprise-grade networking capabilities without complex infrastructure changes. The service's focus on legitimate use cases and clean IP reputation addresses growing concerns about network reliability and security in distributed work and hosting environments.
