I didn't know about this. Interesting offer.
In comparison, you have more port flexibility with StaticWire, vs more straightforward simplicity and better pricing with Tunnelsats. Is that a fair assessment?
With StaticWire you have all UDP and TCP ports.
I don't think tunnelsats is more simplicity because you have to run on non-standard ports. Tunnelsats should be cheaper for sure because they aren't allocating you as much capability with their service and you have to deal with the complexity of non-standard ports.
There is no complexity of dealing with non-standard ports. If you're somewhat decently connected, gossip needs 2-7 minutes transferring changes across 95% of the network.
And once you have the custom-port, it doesn't change with your subscription. So port 1377 is as good as 9735, doesn't matter at all.
Yes, you can route all ports. You can use an RPC, accept incoming peer connections, run a btcpay server, etc., all on standard ports.
