On: Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?

[farmerbb]

I use my Raspberry Pi 3B+ as an AdGuard Home server, as an OpenVPN server, to wake my PC via WoL, plus as just a basic Linux box that's on my home network that I can remote into from anywhere.

I've been looking to set up something like this, do you have a static IP or use an external server you could recommend?

All you need is a DNS provider with an API, and a check for external-IP change.

That's correct. The one I use is duckdns.org - it comes with a script that you can add as a cron job that updates the DNS record every few minutes with whatever your current IP address is.
