I got a homelab, at the moment I am only running some local stuff and tailscale to reach my stuff remotely.

I can use tailscales ddns, but I would like a real domain. Is there a domain registrator that works with dynamic ips? Or do I need to use a CNAME instead of A record?

Oooh thanks for the tip about frp. Interesting.

I actually just migrated things to a setup that is pretty neat using FRP: I run frps on 2 Linodes in the same datacenter and have set up IP sharing for failover between them (which is a neat feature Linode, Vultr and probably a few others offer), and then I run 4 frpc’s, two for each frps in case one of them breaks somehow. Lots of redundancy without all that much effort.

It sounds pretty awesome. Just wondering if adding additional complexity to the setup is worth it to obfuscate my home IP. Easily setting up redundancy is a good feature in that regard though.

I usually use autossh to establish a persistent port tunneling but sometimes got frustrated with the performance of the encrypted tunnel for some use case. Sometimes I don’t need encryption, but need to saturate my nic. frp seems to fit this use case.
