- monster_truck 14d agoExposing it to what exactly? The internet? Yes that's how it works
- johng 14d agoThis requires no port forwarding, so someone brute force scanning your IP won't find this and your open port. they also might have a harder time figuring out what service has been exposed since the port number itself will be unknown.
- cuu508 14d agoIf somebody learns that such-and-such DynDNS URL is mine, they can always do a DNS lookup to find my current IP address. They can: - find my approximate physical location - regularly scan ports on my IP and wait for me to accidentally expose a service I didn't mean to - track me in any access logs they have access to
- mitxela 14d agoThey can, and do, do this with or without DynDNS.
- cuu508 13d agoDo you mean by getting the information from Cloudflare, or some other way? With DynDNS though, finding out my IP is trivial and does not require any special powers or skills, it is just a DNS lookup. PS. Just re-watched your matrix LED pendant video. It is so well done, both the project, and the accompanying video!
