• Asus router script to export new OpenVPN config file on reboot

  I had to manually change the external IP in OpenDNS file to DDNS name, but I'm using Omada. Either way, as others said, use DDNS. I use noip.com for free. Source: 6 months ago

• Where are the Dynamic DNS setup settings?

  Before switching to Quantum I was using noip.com and my previous router had setup options so it would auto-update this service when my WAN IP changed. I'd prefer to use noip.com but I guess I don't really mind a switch to dyndns. I would just like to have something working - anyone know how to configure this modem for dynamic DNS? Is the help text just wrong? Source: 9 months ago

• How can I start setting up a home network

  First: static public IP is not necessary for selfhosting small services. The reason you want static ip is because when you have dynamic dns, it takes time for the DNS records to update when your IP changes. It makes sense to have static ip if you're a business hosting a website so you have zero downtime. In fact, before I bought my own domain name, I simply used a free address from noip.com! It provides a dynamic... Source: 10 months ago

• i need to redirect port 80 to 443

  Certbot has another confirmation method called DNS challange, but I use noip.com , not sure if there is a free dynamic domain name alternative. Source: 10 months ago

• Run a server in the same computer I'll play on [java]

  Your internet looks good, though download speeds aren't everything. I'd probably use 6gb ram. Make sure you trust whoever's joining your server, since they connect by your IP. You can use a service like no-ip if you want a prettier ip to connect to, though then you're trusting them with your IP (not a huge deal but something to consider). Lastly, you could try a dedicated host such as aternos which offers free... Source: 10 months ago

• Access to my server from outside my LAN

  I have a server running several MPD music streams, all accessible via the same IP address on different ports. I have my router configured on a DMZ in my modem and all my ports for the MPD streams are forwarded in my router. The router is running DD-WRT. As of December 2022, I was able to connect to my WAN IP address from anywhere on the Internet and listen to my MPD streams. In December I moved. My ISP has not... Source: 11 months ago

• A little help

  If you need it just for yourself, I find that the most simple and secure option is to just SSH into your server, create a port tunnel to jellyfin and start watching. That way you have only one port open to the world, and all your things are behind SSH. I also have a free domain from noip.com that can be used with dynamic public ip addressess from ISPs. Really simple and no need to set up virtual networks, most of... Source: 11 months ago

• FOSS alternative to Teamviewer

  I use NoMachine out of Germany. You will need to install a script like that avaibable on noip.com to send your ip to noip. NoMachine then can remote in... Its based on NX protocol or you can set up ssh. Works great and as fast as teamviewer. Source: 12 months ago

• [java] Hosting server but getting weird results when trying to connect to it

  So, I'm using noip.com to use as a dynamic address and it works but doesn't? Okay lemme explain, so I use the dynmap plugin, and when I try to access dynmap using the dynamic address, which is on a different port:25568 so it works, like dynmap address: server.ddns.net:25568, it works, but when I try to login to the actual server on minecraft say server.ddns.net:25565, it just times me out. WHAT DO I DO TO FIX IT. Source: about 1 year ago

• Best Router for speed on Verizon FIOS and using FreshTomato firmware

  Out came my little 3500Lv2 and I updated the firmware to the most recent FT version. It still worked great, but the speed never improved (still about 110 Mbs up/down). I pulled out a Netgear R6700v3 I'd bought for an upcoming project and updated it to the latest FT firmware as well. After some testing I'm now getting about 220+ Mbs up/down, with which I'm honestly cool. Setup was EZ as pie, IPv6 is fully... Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I use my pihole server at home remotely, especially on mobile devices?

  Now, the best way to get a hostname for your dynamic IP is a Dynamic DNS, like noip.com. Get one for free and refresh it every month, or pay $2 a month for one if you wish. Run the ddns client in the pi-hole server and you're all set. Source: about 1 year ago

• Turn on home computer remotely

  There's a lot to unpack in your question. This may be doable, but it depends on the computer you are trying to "wake up" and the OS. Most modern computers have a BIOS setting for Wake-On-Lan, the trick is you have to send what is known as a "Magic Packet" to do the task. You say you don't want a Public IP, what I think you mean is you don't want a Public facing "static IP". All routers have a Public IP that get... Source: about 1 year ago

• Considering trying to switch from Plex to Jellyfin. What to watch out for?

  Its very easy. You can do it a bunch of ways but you'll use powershell to fire it up. And some service like noip.com to point at jellyfin. Source: about 1 year ago

• Help setting up Apache

  If you are wanting to use something like say mymovies.net.org.com or something instead of your ip address, you could use a small program/website that I have used for years and years but it adds a little more to your address, like this isnt mine but it would be like mymovies.no-ip.org or whatever instead of my ip address, and yes this does work with jellyfin as I use it, noip.com its free and fairly easy to use.

• Port Forwarding Not working with No-IP.com

  I set up the hostname in noip.com, and even have their client running on my pc. I logged into my router and enabled DDNS, using my user name and password from NOIP to log in, as well as the host name I created. Source: about 1 year ago

• Home to Home private VPN

  You could also use a 3rd party service like noip.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Static IP from ISP for self hosting?

  My recommendation would be to sign up for noip.com and figure out how to change over now while you have time and are not forced to learn after an IP address changed. MUCH less stress to do it on your own time frame, and with scheduled maintenance, than while under the gun with people that just expect your stuff to work. Source: about 1 year ago

• Static IP from ISP for self hosting?

  For my self hosting stuff though I use noip.com. They give you a hostname and take care of any IP changes on the backend so you don't have to worry about them. Source: about 1 year ago
