Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns

As someone else mentioned, this does not seem to be an issue with the DynDNS itself. But rather the fact that your ISP changes your IP regularly (DHCP, non-static IP). I would really recommend you get a static IP from your ISP. DNS lookups should never fail after that.

I have a script running which sends the current IP to our dynDNS provider. I would assume that this is fine then?

Sure, but until their DNS records update, the server is unreachable at the domain address.

So there could be a potenital issue where the correct IP address has been sent but the record has not been updated … Yesterday for example we faced the issue that at least one of three could not access the server. Suddenly it worked for someone who could not connect, only for him to lose access again after a couple of minutes. We all have been in Discord during that time, and the internet connection was fine for everyone.

Whenever I create a redirection on my domain it’s always instantaneous, but it still warns me that “DNS records may take up to 24h to propagate”

If there’s several of you, really, get a dedicated IP address. Usually not possible for normal priced home connections, but a full (not shared) VPS with decent storage/performance can be had for under €10/month.
