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.

To allow access from a friend you need his public IP, not yours.
No fucking shit? In that scenario your friend could use DDNS and you point your access rule to his FQDN to allow access.
Did you really ask me a billion fucking “why” questions just to come back and fucking what prove me wrong? Is this a good use of your time? I literally thought you were a noobie looking to understand.
Fuck off.
