It's possible that, when the ISP revokes the public address and assigns a new one, the DNS record isn't updated immediately and still points to the old address. Then every new request would be sent to the old, invalid address.

I've got it set up on my OPNSense firewall

OPNsense has ddclient built in which solves this problem as well.

And i bet you're in a completely different part of the world from me.

I went to school in the south west of Ireland in the 90s where internet access was even more of a myth than that rib surgery rumour and i still heard about it.

I always thought it was one of those made up school rumours that every kid in every corner of the world heard about somehow.

Like that one about Marilyn Manson getting his lower ribs surgically removed.

We basically have this in Ireland. Only instead of a log cabin its an old cottage in the middle of nowhere.

An old cottage with a gigabit connection.
