Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO
natch@lemmy.today 5 days agoDo 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!).

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.

Your “IP address” is already public. That’s why an IPv4 address is assigned to you as a “public IP address” and you NAT to a private space. When using IPv6, everything is public.
The key is to secure everything with access restrictions.

Well yes I know, but there is a difference between using a domain bound to me as a person and a random string of numbers that changes every 5 minutes

Chances are you’ve had the same public IP for a long time. Mine hasn’t changed in 2 years.
