I fix this by running a script on a cron job that updates dns records based on my current ip, using cloudfront to only allow known ips through my ufw rules. It doesn't work for 100% uptime, but I've never had an instance where visiting my domain failed.

It may not work if you're running a tor node, depending on how cloudfront deals with them, but it does work for mostly-reliable dns resolution on a non-static, residential isp connection.

Not negating the project, just offering an alternative for people that want a static ip without renting vps/metal and without the isp static upcharge.

How do you think Cloudfront works? Amazon is just selling you a bunch of VMs pre-configured as load balancers.

Not trying to be a jerk here, but the cloud has really caused otherwise smart people to lose a grasp on reality.

I wrote Cloudfront but meant Cloudflare. My bad.

I have a script that updates the dns record on a free tier plan with Cloudflare, and since traffic passes through them I can open my residential network to only ports 80 and 443 from their ip4/6 addresses.
