You need static IP only if you want to host the autoritative DNS server for your domain (spoiler alert: you don’t).
You don’t need to proxy your traffic via VPS (higher latency for no good reason) and the dyndns providers are over priced.
What you need is:
That’s all… ddclient will update that single dns entry every time your server restarts (or the IP lease expires and you get a new IP)
The only thing you need to pay here is the domain (you can get free domains but that is another story and tbh I would not recommend, there are cheap domains out of there)
mhh I don't think this works behind cgnat...
it works if you have a dynamic public ip. Where I'm from, generally, they give you a natted ip.
For sure, you need a public (dynamic) IP for this.
NAT sucks, been there, done that… ugh! And, yeah, nothing can be done short of some sort of proxing that adds latency and unreliability
