Greetings All.
I have an Unlimited EE Data SIM that I am using with a Third Party 5G Router. (Not on a "Mobile Broadband" Plan/Contract, just a Data SIM from EE). I have various hosting/software setup on my home network including an OpenVPN server on a Raspberry Pi, Proxmox, and often host Game Servers to play with friends. I have a Dynamic Public IP, which isn't in itself an issue with DDNS, the actual issue is being behind EE's CGNAT - OpenVPN, Game Servers, or really anything that requires Port Forwarding will not work due to CGNAT.
I am aware that all normal EE Plans are behind CGNAT and I understand why its done that way, but from what I've been reading it's unclear whether or not I can request a Static Public IP for my current plan, or if EE Business Plans are dished a Static Public IP. The TLDR here is if I have a Static IP that is not shared with other EE Users, and therefore NOT behind CGNAT, the things I host from my network will work and be accessible as normal.
Are there any knowledgeable folks here who can give me an answer to my question; Is there a way I can either request a Static Public IP for my current plan? Or if EE Business Plans are given/can request a Static Public IP, and if so what Plans give/offer that option?
I'm aware extra charges will certainly come with either, that is fine.
Thankyou all

EE do not provide static public IPs.

Is that only the case for Standard Consumers/The Average Joe? Or as a Whole - "EE Business" Included?
Thanks
