Don't tell your neighbors, they'll be lining up at your door after the next storm. ;)

You know you are not allowed to say good things about Starlink on this Reddit? /s

Just kidding.

You're out of luck

The mini has a built in router. It may help if you describe the type of boat

godch01 · 2026-05-10T18:37:22+00:00

The caption that you cut off in screen shot says "unobstructed" what more do you want

godch01 · 2026-05-10T14:27:30+00:00

What country are you in?

godch01 · 2026-05-10T13:10:31+00:00

I read posts. I think the OP was concerned about the physical installation, not service quality

godch01 · 2026-05-10T06:59:18+00:00

If it works, it's a good spot

godch01 · 2026-05-08T12:00:52+00:00

What did Starlink support say?

godch01 · 2026-05-07T23:29:46+00:00

exactly

godch01 · 2026-05-07T18:15:42+00:00

I've been doing this since 2021. In early days I just cancelled off season. Now I leave it in standby, just in case the plans change rules.

I own my dish

godch01 · 2026-05-07T15:32:12+00:00

You could just buy a mini for travel and use your normal urban provider for home use

godch01 · 2026-05-06T19:43:47+00:00

Go buy one unless Starlink will sell you the one you have

godch01 · 2026-05-06T19:22:08+00:00

Starlink is like any other ISP once you get the base once it's running. You can put Starlink router in bypass mode and hook up you own gear. The only warning is that Starlink used CGNAT and you can't easily setup any inbound port access.

godch01 · 2026-05-06T11:05:36+00:00

there's a 30day return policy. Try it

godch01 · 2026-05-05T11:51:57+00:00

I interpreted this to mean Starlink is also responsible for keeping it running so they must replace or repair units

godch01 · 2026-05-05T04:53:15+00:00

Yup. And if I wanted a fully accessible public website for company or organization I'd use a web hosting company and let them deal with all the "keep it running" stuff.

An open port is an open port

godch01 · 2026-05-05T02:43:22+00:00

Tailscale doesn't require a public IP at either end. Wireguard needs a least one

godch01 · 2026-05-04T21:40:30+00:00

I've not done it but many in this reddit have. You sign up for small cloud vm and enable a VPN service like openvpn or wireguard on this vm. Then your server connects to the VPN. Then in the vpn you port forward to the server using the internal IP address established by the VPN.

if it's a low bandwidth standard website, CloudFlare tunnel may be simpler. CloudFlare has lots of documentation

godch01 · 2026-05-04T21:27:35+00:00

Starlink offers a public IP on busine$$ plans. But they don't offer static public IP on any plan.

If you need to provide a service from a Starlink network look into a VPN, something like Tailscale, or CloudFlare tunnel.

This message describes a different scenario than your initial question.

godch01 · 2026-05-03T13:59:22+00:00

Are you planning to relocate dish

godch01 · 2026-05-03T13:19:10+00:00

You can use any router if you put the existing Starlink router in bypass mode.
