No mention of forwarding a port on your home router + dynamic DNS here in the comments yet. I would appreciate recommendations for dynamic DNS providers.

- 3np 5y agoBasically any decent normal DNS provider (eg Porkbun or Gandi) will have shorter TTL than most forwarding nameservers anyway, and have APIs that are fairly straightforward.
- smorrebrod 5y agoI do dynamic DNS by updating Gandi LiveDNS entries thanks to their API and a botched shell script.
- freeone3000 5y agoNamecheap's DNS provides dyndns support. It's now just an add-on to your DNS or domain name provider.

- dx034 5y agoDid that in the past but I'm kind of glad these free tunnels exist now. I always felt a bit uncomfortable forwarding ports in my home setup, esp if it wasn't to a linux server that I could harden reliably.. For me, NAT was always a layer of security, much like a firewall.
- shukantpal 5y agoI’ve setup ddns with digitalocean
- tssva 5y agoI use Cloudflare for my DNS. ddclient has built-in support for updating Cloudflare DNS or if you have to use a device which only supports the dyndns protocol the DNS-O-Matic service can be used to update Cloudflare DNS. Also many ACME clients have built-in support for using Cloudflare for DNS-01 challenge verification to get certificates from Let's Encrypt.
- 0xCMP 5y agoThis solution doesn't require any port forwarding. The "home" device connects to the VPS letting the VPS talk to it over the Wireguard connection.
