Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns

Can you explain the connection issues? Dynamic dns services aren’t much different than a normal domain name.
If the problem is with your ip address changing then you need to get a more permanent ip.
In fact you can usually get a domain name from the dynamic dns provider and they can update it.
A way around this is to use a service like Tailscale. Their ip address for your host won’t change. The downside is you need to be on von to access it. There might be other options.

The server is running at my friends house who has a fiber connection. When we face these connection issues, it does not necessarily mean that all of us cannot access Jellyfin but often times only a couple of us cannot access (same error as if you mistype a web-address, so it cannot resolve the domain name). During these periods of connection issues, the internet connection of my friend is working completely fine. I have a script running that constantly sends the current IP address to the dynDNS provider. I also looked into how often our ISP changes the IP address and it is not very often and not during these issues.

A different domain name won’t fix the issue you’re describing.
