Is there a service that gives you a web address that serves as a IP address for your home laptop or computer? I seem to remember something like that being mentioned on some previous post.

It would be cool if I can get the bash to do this

Linux instructions:

Relevant commands:

• nordvpn settings - lists out settings
• nordvpn set [setting name] - sets the relavent setting
• nordvpn whitelist add subnet [mask] - whitelists the specified subnet
• nordvpn d and nordvpn c - to disconnect and connect
• ifconfig - gets your current IP

Bringing it all together:

1. Run ifconfig to get your current IP. It's most likely 192.168.1.xxx

2. Run nordvpn whitelist add subnet 192.168.1.0/24 to add your subnet to the whitelist (change the first three sections of the subnet to match what your IP is in the first command if it is different)

3. run nordvpn settings to view all settings and verify they look right, you should see your subnet in the whitelist section now

4. run nordvpn c to reconnect and apply your new settings

freedns.afraid.org
no-ip.com
cloudns.net
dynu.com

cloudflare, aws, ddg all offer dynamic dns as well.

I use afraid.

In case Tailscale doesn't work, there's tons of other options. The one I use to set up my Foundry sessions woth my players is Zgrok. Works as good as ngrok and tailscale while being more generous with data limits.
