Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP

To allow access from a friend you need his public IP, not yours.

No fucking shit? In that scenario your friend could use DDNS and you point your access rule to his FQDN to allow access.
Did you really ask me a billion fucking “why” questions just to come back and fucking what prove me wrong? Is this a good use of your time? I literally thought you were a noobie looking to understand.
Fuck off.

Dude, just chill! I didn’t think that your answer made sense in the first place and that’s why I’ve asked why you wrote that sentence. I’m not the one that reply to a comment saying “You’re wrong!”, unless I’m more than sure about what I’m talking, otherwise, and in this case I wasn’t sure and I wanted to know your point. I’m here to give my point of view and also to LEARN from others and this is why I kept asking you what was the need of resolving a DNS in a firewall rule, so that maybe I could start using those rules too. On the other side, if you understood that your answer didn’t make sense, you simply could have just said it and not waste mine and your time. I think that we ALL are here to share idea and knowledge and that NO ONE is perfect, me in the first place!

If you really think someone is wrong don’t ask them “why, why, why” incessantly like a toddler, grow a pair of balls and just speak your mind.
And in this case I meant “your IP” as in, the grand scheme of things “an IP address that you own”, a VPS for instance, not necessarily the destination. Obviously you wouldn’t need to tell a firewall what its own public IP is. Though if you want to be a pedant, you can absolutely use DDNS with an outgoing rule, to limit traffic to the outside. Is that wrong? Have I clarified my thought to your standards?
