  Mine just stopped working when not on the local network and I haven’t had the energy to find out why and then to fix it and then to convince everyone I’d brought in that this time will be different

    Never used it in LAN. Always used a VPS for this with a domain name, no DynDNS or similar.

      How much does a vps cost running your matrix client? It can’t be more than a couple bucks a month right?

        I pay around 10€ per month. The VPS has more services than.just Synapse. Mastodon, Database, Immich, Nextcloud, gotify… And a few more 😁

        I use the VPS 2000 from NetCup

      Mine only works on lan. The ddns checks out, but clients over the internet get nothing.

        Maybe a problem with portforwarding 🤔
