So i have purchased static ip using normal act fibernet and im running 1 Dell server (proxmox).

Act<->router<->dell server<->virtual machines

Can i assign different public static ip for each virtual machine like how azure or google cloud does?

If anyone can help please contact me here
 
Only act can assign you more ip addresses but that would be considered commercial connection.
 
What I would suggest is to get a domain and using a reverse proxy like Nginx or Traefik. For example, I have set plex.domain.tld to go to my plex server docker container internal IP using NGINX.

IPv4 is on short supply, even ISPs are having trouble getting even /24 prefixes legally from APNIC.
 
btw these are the sme plans for chennai:

1596869281184.webp
 
I remember when I called airtel for static IP address, the CS representative asked me how many IPs I want and according to her I could get max of 2 static IP per home connection, didn't really needed 2 IP addresses so never asked again.
Never knew you could get 2 IP address on a home connection
 


Then its better to call and ask on how many they can give on his current connection.
 
UPDATE:

ACT only gives 1 static ip with residential and business plans.
difference is for business you need company and plans include static ip in it with dedicated fiber to office.

For multiple ips your need lease line which come with 8 ips by default (2 they use for gateway or smt)
 
@Rehan Kumar Airtel will give you a /30 WAN address and a /28 or /29 LAN pool and will enable routing towards your LAN pool through the WAN. For example.. that way your /28 will be directly reachable over internet.. On the internet they announce aggregate route of /24 combining multiple /28s
HTH
 
Airtel will give you a /30 WAN address and a /28 or /29 LAN pool
Can you explain in a bit more details ? A /30 subnet means two IP address, and since Airtel uses PPPoE, how will it be able to supply and track two addresses at once ?

Also, what is meant by a /28 LAN IP Pool ? I should be able to use my own LAN settings and subnet, shouldn't I ?

Are any ports (80/5600) blocked on said public IP ? What's the total cost of 2 IPs ?
 
I believe this thread should move to Airtel from here. Don't know who is the moderator here

Here is the (long) explanation...

Current implementation for static IPs at Airtel needs you to go away from PPPoE and they will provide you a dedicated /30 address for WAN which you need to configure on your WAN router with a default route (0.0.0.0/0) pointing towards the other IP in the /30 pool.
At the same time they will provision the other IP in that /30 on the your port/VLAN of their Broadband Gateway. For the /28 or /29 pool which you pay for, they will put a route on their Broadband Router towards your /30 IP so that traffic coming from Internet destined to one of the IPs in that /28 range reaches your router. There is no NAT here as the IP in that LAN pool are public IP addresses which are routable over the Internet. Needless to say that bunch of smaller LAN pools (from yours and other customers) are aggregated as /24 or larger when advertised to Internet as you cant route smaller that /24 subnet over internet.
The NAT happens in the residential PPPoE scenario where your device behind your WAN router gets IP from 192.168.x.x range or any other private IP range.
Another important point is that there is no authentication for this unlike the way you have a user/password in the PPPoE connection
Hope that is clear
As far as pricing is concerned, I am not aware of that. Please contact CC for that.

IMO this is a bad implementation as we waste lots of IPs here...
