Home VPN without Static IP?

Hello friends,

I’ve just finished setting up remote access to my home network via VPN using the often-cited instructions here

One hangup that I feel really dumb for missing: what is the server name/address on the L2TP client? It’s a home internet connection, so I don’t have a static IP. Is there an easy way around that that I’m missing?

Thanks!

You need a dynamic dns client… I think noip is free and you run a small service that updates the dns automatically. You then connect flvia domain instead of ip.

If you watch it…your home ip will not change often. I’ve had the same one for a solid year. But you can setup a free ddns address through a company like duckdns. Or you can just use the ip address.
