I can fathom that it is complicated, maybe even impossible in the current setup, but the internet we all grew to love dies a little bit more each time the mouth breathers try to restrict it on behalf of capitalism.

Maybe remembering ip addresses can fill the void of not having to remember phone numbers anymore?

I mean, as far as I know, DNS is decentralized. Anyone can host their own DNS server, or change which server their network/device uses. Google's is just very commonly used because 8.8.8.8 is easy to remember, but there are thousands of others run by entities big and small, and there's nothing stopping you from running your own (assuming you manage to get a hold of a static IPv4)

Do I need a static ip if I plan to only use it locally from my home network?

What I suggest/have done:

Rent a cheap VPS in a non-five eyes country that comes with a static ipv4.
SSH on random port with certificate auth only. No root, no password auth.
setup WireGuard server with random port.
firewall block all incoming except ssh and WireGuard port at first.
set home server to connect via wireguard as sole client to VPS.
individually add any ports you want to go to the home server from the internet as NAT forwarded ports. Basically WWW -> VPS -> Home.
have a separate WireGuard VPN for outgoing from the home server.
profit?

But it’s crazy complicated. At least it was for me. Not for the faint hearted imo.
