Right? A little script auto to update your DNS records assuming you don't have a static IP, now you can remote in much easier. And don't have to memorize your IP.
Most routers have dynamic dns updaters built in nowadays.
And you don’t even have to write the script yourself. Depending on your DNS provider, you can probably use https://github.com/qdm12/ddns-updater or something similar to keep it updated.
I personally use it hosted in Docker with Cloudflare on their free plan and it works great. I tried to set it up with Namecheap initially but they have some requirements for API access, some of which include an allowlisted IP address for API clients. I didn’t want to source, configure, and rely on a static IP jump server just for DNS updates, so I changed the DNS provider (but didn’t transfer the domains).
