  Sorry, but I still don’t understand, what’s the need for that?

    Because you’re not going to setup any rules pointed to a dynamic public IP address. Otherwise you’re going to be finding a way to change the rule every time the ip changes.

    The ddns automatically updates an A record with your public IP address any time it changes, so yeah the rules would use the fqdn for that A record.

      What’s the need of the public IP in the firewall rules?

        If OP needs a firewall rule to do any number of things that a firewall does.
