Hoppy: Static IP service through Wireguard! (hoppy.network)

Hoppy Network is a service that provides a unique static /32 IPv4 and /56 IPv6 block to each of your devices, over WireGuard. Your device operates as if this public IPv4 and IPv6 address is a native system interface - as if it weren't behind a NAT, dynamic IP, or whatever inconvenient networking situation you might have.

It provides Reverse DNS for IPv4 (mail servers), and does not block any ports. Current plans are $8/month (100/100Mbps, 1TB) and $16/month (500/500Mbps, 2TB). A $5/month plan with smaller bandwidth and data caps is under development.

Seems pretty cool, but you can definitely do it yourself a bit cheaper. Also it is not totally clear where the exit nodes are located.

I started looking into this a while ago. A couple similar existing tools:

https://playit.gg which is focused on games, but works for arbitrary ports. Doesn't give dedicated IPs but it's free. Currently uses a custom QUIC-based protocol as far as I can tell, but is transitioning to Wireguard.
https://remote.it a more professional service. Probably offers dedicated IPs. Not sure what tech it uses under the hood. Probably most similar to the OP.

And if you want to setup something like this yourself, using frp can be a lifesaver if you don't know iptables well.
