Correct. I used NOIP for years until I realized that 1) my IP address is static and 2) my home IP address was being exposed. (Pretty obvious I know but sometimes I am slow on the uptake 😃)

My solution was to get a $5 per month vps and reverse proxy and reverse ssh tunnels.

The $5 / month VPS ($60/year) was pretty much the cost of NOIP per year to use custom domains.

I have an email server so that I can send documents scanned from an older laser printer and be able to retrieve them. Setting an email server was the only way since drivers are no longer availble or windows based.

What ever website project I am working on. I tunnel from a VPS to my home network.
