Access with public domain without fixed IP? (alien.top)

Hello!

I have tailscale setup and can access my machine from outside, but i also have a domain that I don't use? How could I proceed, what services do I need, if I want to see my homelab without vpn, just typing "www.mylamedomain.com"?

Considerations:

- I do not have fixed ip (only a local network fixed ip for the server)

- I cannot modify anything on the router, its a shitty router from the provider, and I can't even replace the router because it has a card reader in it, like a bank card, without that card or that router, I dont have internet nor TV. (i'm thinking of changing provider, but the others have slower speed)

- I have Ubuntu server, with CasaOS and NexeCloud inside CasaOS.

- Talescale is installed directly on the host system.

Thanks in advance!

do you have a dynamic ipv4 or cgnat?

are you looking for ngrok.io by any chance? when was the last time you saw your ngrok.io and will it bite me if i approach it too fast?

You are looking for a dynamic DNS or DDNS

You definitely don’t want to expose your internal services to the Internet. If you must, such as a website, use a reverse proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager). Everything else should be accessed from your VPN.

What registrar do you use? Look up “ddclient” and find a tutorial for configuring it to your registrar. When properly configured, it will push your current IP every X minutes so that example.com will translate to you even if your IP changes.
