If you have a dedicated server with OVHcloud, you can purchase additional IPs, also known as "Fallback IPs", for your server. Because I have enough resources on my dedicated servers, I wanted to give/rent VPSes for my friends for them to use for their own projects, but I wanted to give them the real VPS experience, with a real external public IP that they can connect and use.

So I figured out how to bind an external IP to your LXD container/LXD VM! Although there are several online tutorials discussing this process, none of them worked for me until I stumbled upon this semi-unrelated OVHcloud guide that helped me go in the right direction.
