Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name

  And yet, that is exactly what I am doing and it is working.

  Rfc1918 address are absolutely usable with DNS in this fashion.
  If I were to try to access it while I wasn’t home it absolutely wouldn’t work but that is not what I do.

    Then you don’t need to pay porkbun and can just selfhost a DNS with that entry like technitium.com/dns/

      That’s true but then I would have to deal with PKI, cert chains, and DNS. When now all I need to do is get Traefik to grab a wildcard Let’s Encrypt cert and everything is peachy.

        No, you’d just need to deal with running DNS locally, you can still use LE for internal certs.

        But you still need to pass one of their challenges. Public DNS works for that. You don’t need to have any records in public DNS though.
