Im sure this has been asked before i juat can't find where it has been - Maybe need to work on how to search Lemmy better. But...

Id like to eventually self host some sevices that require external access. While I have IpV6 addresses my IPV4 is dynamic.

Whats the best free way to be able to point some domains/ subdomains I have to my external dynamic IP and keep it updated. Im running OpenWrt on my router. - So possibly should be posting there.

Free Dyndns services seem to be a bit crap. Do I need to pay for a VPS? (seems to defeat the point of self hosting)

I guess I'll worry about the obscure when its needed for something.

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

CAA and DNSSEC aren't obscure. I would not even consider managing any domain nowadays without them.

Neither are ALIAS/DNAME/HTTPS, which you'll be running into more and more in the future if you haven't already. You could argue there are multiple competing standards at work there but Afraid doesn't implement any of them.

I'll worry about it when it happens until then its obscure and of no importance.

If anything ever happens that involves [the lack of] DNSSEC or CAA you'll have to buy another domain because the old one will be on every block list.

Go away dude. I get that you have hived down the subject to the point of obsession but I've got websites that have been up for decades and if they go on a blocklist it will be for another reason. Not because of two barely used DNS records. Further if they become required then I'm sure they will be supported.
