I’ve got a VPN server on a machine which gets a public IPv4 address via DHCP. Once in a while it changes. Instead of using something like DDNS, I just have a script running via chron to get my public address and send it to a GitHub gist. If VPN stops working, I can always check to see if the address changed. May not be the best solution, but it works for me.

curious, what purpose is vpn for assuming you host it for yourself only?

  I have one. I use it to access services and machine on the network.

  I installed one for myself only too. But it’s more like a proxy to be geolocalized in France (some services block foreign IPs) when I’m not. Pretty handy.
