TL;DR - put back the config for br0 if you've removed it, then
modify
the guest's <interface> config to use br0 instead of the default network.
thanks that's all i had to do :)
then in the guest i just configured /etc/network/interfaces to use the
static IP i wanted, and the vm is accessible from the internet like
another server!
