I paid namecheap for a domain, it was $50 for 8 years. So I guess I lied, I did pay for that ages ago. Then, I use my UniFi Dream Machine firewall to route traffic to my Plex and game servers within my network. It’s great because I have Minecraft.mydomain.com, files.mydomain.com and palworld.mydomain.com that people use to access things. Do note that this requires a static IP from your ISP unless you want to get a dynamic dns service running which isn’t too bad.
Yeah, I don't have access to dynamic DNS because I'm behind a NAT (ISP gives me a 10.x.x.x address). I can pay for a static IP, but I'd really rather not.
I was hoping there was something like Tailscale where I could forward ports over a VPN and use the VPN host's IP for my DNS. I can kinda get there with Tailscale's public DNS, but I can't use my own (well, I could use a CNAME, but I'd use their certs).
Anyway, it's a temporary thing since I should be getting a new municipal fiber connection soon.
CGNAT should be illegal.
Yeah, I can set up a VPN pretty easily, it's just annoying that I need to do it.
Namecheap supports ddns out of the box too, no additional service required. You just need a cron job that calls their API to update your IP periodically.
Ah perfect! Thanks for the additional info
