    Cloudflare DDNS updated by ddclient on my OpnSense router. Cloudflare happens to be my current domain registrar. Honestly, my IPv4 doesn’t change that often. And when I used to be on Comcast, they assigned a block of IPv6 addresses and the router dealt with that. Unfortunately, I now have Quantum Fiber who only assign a single IPv6 address, so I gave up on IPv6 for now.

      Just a practice I’ve had over the years with domains: separate your registrar and your DNS. If one goes down, or out of business, you can fix it if you still control the other and its accessible. If you have both of them in one place, it’s really hard to get that domain transferred.
