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)

    Wow thanks everyone. I think I need to take another look at some of the DynDNS provides and digest all your great feedback.

    Id like to go beyond personal self hosting stuff and maybe run some stuff that requires Federation. Im just thinking at the moment.
