Steffo :steffo:<p>Can somebody recommend a good dynamic DNS service that I can use to access some stuff of my Synology nas?

This is only needed if you have an IP-adress that changes from time to time. This usually the case for plain private internet conections.<br>This service is the easy, lite and fritz-adopted version of <a href="https://sueden.social/tags/DynDNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DynDNS</span></a> and serves the prupose to provide a constsant internet-adress to a changing IP-adress.<br>There are various DynDNS-Providers with different Services.

Gossen<p>Just a technical question. I am running a server at home with GoToSocial and Pixelfed. This is running super, only my internet connection has a dynamic IP address. Every day around the same time it changes. I notice that after this IP change it takes a while (10min) before GoToSocial and Pixelfed are available again. Can this hurt as far as federation is concerned? Or will other servers find my server stupid? <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Federation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Federation</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DynDNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DynDNS</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/TechnicalQuestion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechnicalQuestion</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Server</span></a></p>
Gossen<p>Even een technische vraag. Ik draai thuis een server met GoToSocial en Pixelfed. Dit draait super, alleen heeft mijn internetverbinding een dynamisch IP adres. Elke dag rond dezelfde tijd veranderd deze. Ik merk dat na deze IP wissel het even duurt (10min) voordat GoToSocial en Pixelfed weer beschikbaar zijn. Kan dit kwaad voor wat betreft federation? Of gaan andere servers mijn server stom vinden? <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Federation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Federation</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DynDNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DynDNS</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/TechnischeVraag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechnischeVraag</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Server</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DurfTeVragen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DurfTeVragen</span></a></p>

greenwood<p>Hallo in die Runde, ich habe eine Frage zu <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/ipv6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ipv6</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/FritzBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FritzBox</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/dyndns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dyndns</span></a> und <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/wireguard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wireguard</span></a> <br>So wie ich es verstanden habe, muss die öffentliche IPv6 Adresse des wireguard-Servers beim Dyndns-Anbieter hinterlegt sein, um auf das Gerät hinter der Fritzbox zugreifen zu können. Ist das vom Sicherheitsaspekt so, als wenn ich mit ipv4 auf die Fritzbox zugreifen und dort dann an den wireguard Server weiter geleitet wird? Wie bringe ich den wireguard Server dazu, seine IP beim Dyndns Server zu hinterlegen?</p>
Tim W RESISTS<p>The next one, which also started surprisingly early, was using <a href="https://union.place/tags/DynDNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DynDNS</span></a> hostnames for botnet command and control. That's what actually got me involved in the <a href="https://union.place/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> community (and where I met <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@jtk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>jtk</span></a></span> !)</p><p>DynDNS was good for C&amp;C because they could move it around quickly, and have the bots follow. If the C&amp;C got taken down, boom, switch to a new one. We were unintentionally helping them keep their control going.</p><p>2/?</p>
Yann Büchau :nixos:<p>This was surprisingly painful, but I managed to make a :nixos: <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NixOS</span></a> module¹ to periodically update DNS records via the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://netcup.cafe/@netcup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>netcup</span></a></span> API.
