ANSWERED Making a web service available through VPN with DDNS

[kityafnsd 2]

Hello!

Did you wind up with a resolution on this?

I'm interested in doing something similar - almost identical probably - using AIRVPN DDNS. I'd like to have a domain I own point to a web service running behind airvpn, but not have to update the IP address manually if I reset my connection to air vpn on my server.

I'm not sure what IP address or domain I need listed as the A name. Is there a link to examples / documentation on this yet?

Also, if I'm misunderstanding the point of the AirDDNS service please let me know! Thank you!


Edit:


I read the FAQ/DDNS post again and then once I looked at the forwarded ports section I think I saw the answer I was looking for.

Edit - again - I think I spoke to soon, I am still a little confused on what IP to use for this scenario and at this point I'm not sure if this adds value to the original post   - just when I think my high level understanding is enough or get something working I find myself back here!

Not A, you need a CNAME pointing at a DDNS name from AirDNS. In the DDNS field, enter some name, like "testtest". Then point some CNAME RR to that DDNS name.

website.mydomain.tld. CNAME testtest.airdns.org.
