Yes I use no-ip but have to confirm the domain name every month or so and cant use my own domain on the free tier. (Maybe im just being cheap) - Also I haven’t been able to figure out how I would use / get SSL certificates.

Since you run already OpenWrt, you can check out openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/ddns/client
There is a list on this page of compatible services. If you don’t want to use one more service (DNS), you can use a domain registrar with an API (like porkbun) and find online tools that work with that.
Be aware of the risks of hosting your websites publicly from home, make sure to run them in very isolated environments. Having your VPS compromised is bad, but having your home network compromised is much worse!

Try duckdns, it doesnt nag you every month and it just works

Yes, I have used it in the past and it was annoying…
You can get SSL certs with letsencrypt, but you need to use the http verification method.

That lists afraid.org as a ddns provider.
They are pretty great, I use them as my domain host.

Agree - Not something I will throw myself into.
