This is where I’ve always got hung up. I’ve for a long time wanted a static URI for a machine at home (e.g. SSH, IRC bouncer, music files, etc.)
I assumed I’d have to use some kind of local host tunneling solution (like pagekite.io), which are either expensive or difficult to trust/rely-on, or register as a business to get a static IP.
Any tips?
- bhauer 9y agoI was speaking of assigning private static IPs to everything on your virtual private network, and then using a private DNS server. This allows you to reach your devices/hosts by name rather than their IP. However, the entire scenario relies on you having at least one static IP address for your firewall/VPN endpoint. You need to be able to reach that from anywhere on the public Internet.
