My VPS provider is running a promotion where I can get up to 5 additional public IPv4 addresses for a one-time cost of $25 each. I have always only used a single public IP address per VPS. Would there be any advantage of having additional public IP addresses?

I know some people do not consider a VPS self-hosting, but this is the most relevant community I could think of and the question is also applicable for homelabs as well.

It is a lot simpler nowadays. Download Caddy, put a 2 line config and you are good to go.

I guess that's "a lot simpler" than 6 lines of config?
