For me it resolves to 198.74.55.216 which is a Linode USA IP. No IPv6.

No mention of why it needs to go through a Linode server.

Also if for some reason you get DDoSed you can probably switch that VPS a lot quicker than getting a new static IP at home, if at all.

		Sad state of the legacy internet. This is a solved problem with IPv6. no wonder the why the corporations profiting from it delaying the migration.

I have my public gateway on a Hetzner server routing traffic to an overlay network of my rinky-dink servers. Hetzner’s static IP is cheaper and more stable than one I could get from an ISP.

They might not have a static public IP, perhaps they're even behind CGNAT.
