Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns

Dyndns really shouldn’t affect your connection, as long as you have a local client that updates your record automatically.
I use jellyfin together with caddy and it was pretty seamless to setup. I configured the caddyfile to redirect my incoming domain to my local ip and the rest worked automatically. It sets up a legitimate certificate for the domain using lets encrypt and automatically renews it.
When you have an encrypted connection, the isp can’t see what is being sent between you and the webserver. They can however see your dns-requests unless you have dns over encryption enabled.
The only security measure beyond keeping things up to date that i would recommend is to have a geo-blocker enabled for incoming traffic to your network.

Thanks, yes I also use a script that constantly sends the current IP address to the dynDNS provider. I could be completely wrong, but the internet connection of my friends house where the server stands is fine even during these connection issues. So I would blame the DNS resolution, but it is also my first time running a server.

How frequently do you send these updates? Most of dynDNS provider rate limit the updates you can send, so it is possible that you send a bunch of useless updates when the IP didn’t change and the actual update that is required gets discarded because you hit the limit.
Do you log your script errors somewhere? Are you sure that the IP changes so frequently?
I know at least 3 European fiber providers which offers static IPs. For broadband always on connections IP changes should be pretty rare

I have a cronjob that runs every minute to update the IP address. I could try to increase it to every hour or so. In the beginning I tracked how often the ISP changed the address and it was roughly like once every 24-30 hours, cannot really remember.

Maybe change the script to just send updates whenever the ip really changed.
