I have a static IP at home so I can connect via my homelab server (let's call it the bastion) to any of my Pis. No need for VPN.

- voidUpdate 2y agoI do that too, but I have a domain to make it easier to remember haha. I should probably beef it up some more though, just in case
- op00to 2y agoYou don’t even need a static IP. I simply update the dns record (A and AAAA) every time it changes.
- shzhdbi09gv8ioi 2y agoYou're right and I used to do the same for years (dyndns xD) But my current ISP required me to pay extra for a static IP, where their ordinary "dynamic IP" offering shares IP and don't allow for direct connections from the internet. This never used to be the case.
- op00to 2y agoThat stinks! At this point, it's not even internet access anymore!
- theandrewbailey 2y agoA static IP and a VPN solve unrelated problems. Even if you have a static IP, a VPN can still be useful.
