Hi everyone!
I’m looking into self-hosting, and I currently have dynamic DNS set up to point to my home IP.
My question: is it worth getting a dedicated IP through a VPN?
I’m pretty technically savvy, but when it comes to networking I lack practical experience. My thought is that pointing my domain to a dedicated IP and routing that traffic to my home IP would be safer - especially if I only allow traffic on certain ports from that IP. Just curious if that idea holds up in practice, or if it’s not worth the effort.
You’ve clarified your thought to a normal standard, as you didn’t previously. Learn to say “I was wrong” when you are wrong!
Edit: could I have said in the first place that I thought that you were wrong? Probably yes and I’ll keep that in mind.
I would’ve if I was wrong
