I'm just curious why you don't just spend the extra $30/month and host
a server with Brian Karas' colo? Servers can be fairly cheap now,
you'll get a real static IP with control of your reverse DNS, backup
power, and a secure location.

I just moved my server there and it's working great. No blocked ports, no BS.
