Wouldn’t you need a publically available IP? DuckDNS is only for dynamic IP’s that is public, yes?

Works with anything that can open ports. DuckDNS works by pinging their service from anywhere to update the target IP for the subdomain.

Doesn’t work if you are on CGNAT

See: Anything that can open ports. NAT of any kind tends to not allow opening ports.

Yea, that is also what I thought. To bypass this, you would need something like Cloudflare Tunnels or setup a VPN on a VPS, that redirects traffic to your homeserver.
