Do you pay for a domain? They likely provide dynamic DNS (DNS). If you’re lucky, they have an API for it, instead of an app, and you can configure a cronjob on your home server to run every 1-5 minutes (or more often, if your IP is super unstable!).

Crap, I really need to switch of Tailscale but currently it is an easy way for me to access my stuff outside of home as a temporary solution while I am on a 5G modem.

Yeah I can always do that, but putting stuff behind something like Tailscale is (or atleast feels) more secure than making my IP known to the public. I have a DMZ setup though so it should be fine.

So then I tried to delete my whole account and couldn’t due to an error. I sent them an email about it and they took like two weeks to respond.

Json is awful for config

Crockford is a good and smart person but he really dropped the fucking ball on JSON.
Double-quotes-only and no comments kill the whole spec for me. Extremely opinionated and dumb. I fucking hate JSON.
My boss once sent me a machine generated config. He’s terminally addicted to double-quotes (like, a fatal condition). I searched and there were 27k sequences of
