Static Public IP

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.

To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone

ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up > 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB > 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB > 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU > 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU > 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC > 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC > 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC > 2022:EE 80 Meg FTTC SoGEA > 2025 EE 150 Meg FTTP

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

Thanks
