My ISP wanted me to pay ten euro per month for a static IPv4 address, so I set up a DIY Dynamic DNS system as I didn't want to use yet another external resource/tool. Let me know about any improvements I could make and how I can improve my writing as I want to keep writing more blog posts in the future.

  If your goal is to expose a private service to people away from home... Tailscale for the win, no messing around with dynamic DNS, NAT and all of that.

    Asking nontechnical family and friends to connect to a vpn to access my home server is a little much for them.

      Tailscale actually made this "manageable" for me - at least as much friction as Cloudflare tunnels with auth

    My goal is moreso to have publicly accessible services as I run some things for friends to use also, but thanks for the feedback!

Why diy instead of ddclient, duckdns, I think CloudFlare has a 1st party solution too
