Ask HN: Pseudo Static Ip Service
I am an ameteur home automation hacker and I am looking for a service that would securely track only my external ip address so that I could have a way to look up my exteral ip remotely.
Are there any services like that? I cant seem to find any.
Is that type of service in demand or am I a lone wolf?

- Raed667 10y agoI think DuckDNS is what you're looking for https://www.duckdns.org/ https://www.duckdns.org/
- cdvonstinkpot 10y agoThis [1] works well if you're behind NATs where you don't have control over port-forwarding settings, ie. Public HotSpots, etc. [1] https://github.com/beameio/beame-insta-ssl https://github.com/beameio/beame-insta-ssl
- ohyeshedid 10y agoYou could use Cloudflare for DNS and their API[1] for updating a subdomain of your own to your dynamic ip. With that, you could also use the dehydrated[2] script with dns challenges to host subdomains with ssl on your lan. It's all easily automated, as well.
