I am ordering a Peplink Balance One Router to combine multiple Starlink connections for aggregated bandwidth on the SpeedFusion Cloud (SFC) interface. However, I need the SFC interface to have a public IP address. From my research so far, it seems the SFC interface is only a VPN tunnel and cannot have a public IP address. What is the easiest way to resolve this issue? Thank you.
You would need to get a static ip on one of your wan’s , cellular , public ip’s on starlink, or setup your own speedfusion tunnel service to a datacenter and leverage that static ip. SFC (SpeedFusion Cloud) does not offer a static ip service. What are you trying to accomplish, we a are peplink partner, we may be able to assist you.
Thank you Jonathan. I already have a static public iP on either of the Starlink connections but because I’m combining the connections on Peplink B One, I thought I may not be able to use those IPs. Because we will be using the aggregated link instead of using them separately.
What do you use the public ip for , inbound?
If inbound then yes you would need to host a speedfusion in a datacenter and assign a static ip on the datacenter side.
You can contact me [email protected] and I can put together a project plan/quote with equipment and recommendation for hosting if you’d like.
You’re right that SFC is a VPN tunnel, so it won’t have a public IP directly. One way around this is to set up a separate public-facing server (like a VPS) that you can use as the endpoint for your VPN, then forward the necessary traffic through it. It’s a bit of extra setup, but it should give you the public IP you need for your connections.
Indeed, you’ll have to setup a FusionHub on a VM (in a data center) with a public IP. This one will be the public endpoint for external connections, where the tunnel between the FusionHub instance and your B One will bound the different Starlink connections. Not that hard to setup using the tutorials in this forum, or using a partner.
Hi PeterDedecker,
Thank you. Please is there any resource that might help set this up?
Many thanks!.
Any idea what could be wrong? I have created the connection to Fusion Hub on AWS and I have a public IP address however, I still receive a local IP on the LAN interface.

I’m working with nathaniel on that exactly now.
We are waiting on his customer to connect their router, but I’ll be helping him setup nat, vpn tunnels, etc.
