I would like to host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn’t static.

I’ve been using freedns.afraid.org for about a year now.
I’m using DuckDNS, it has a plugin for pfSense / OpnSense.
I pay an extra £1 a month to my ISP to get a static address. Figured it’s well worth having no hassle.
Aside from a brief scare a couple of months ago, when the owner/operator was unreachable and the configuration interface and some automatic update paths were not working, I have been using afraid.org, and it has proven to be a stellar service, and free for basic needs.
Afraid.org is what I’ve been using ever since dyndns started charging big prices for what used to be free.
I host my own ddns server in a debian container https://wiki.debian.org/DDNS
Here we go down another rabbit hole… 😆
If you only need public access to things like HTTP or SSH you don’t necessarily need to run dynamic ip and just setup Cloudflare Tunnels. So far I haven’t needed to put anything public that doesn’t run on the provided tunnels.
Where are the settings for these tunnels located in Cloudflare? I was looking around the website last night but didn’t have any luck.
Look under the Zero Trust category and then once there you’ll see another menu item called Access. There you’ll find Tunnels, in addition to Tunnels you can add an Application in the same Access menu to create policies that only allow certain clients to connect.
I use DuckDNS. There’s been only one outage for the ~2 years I’ve been using it and it’s free. I also use DuckDNS to acquire the SSL certificates for the reverse proxy.
I also use duckdns, but in the last year it went down like twice or something. Its good but not really reliable.
AdGuard! They even have installable profiles for Apple devices, so I get ad blocking even on mobile!mb, DDNS. nvm
