Hello and thank you for providing a free service based on security.
I am lost with the basics of the “product” or “service”.
For background of what I wish to achieve, I have a dynamic dns domain name from no-ip. I use a client on a router/firewall to update my public ip address. All I currently use it for is to ssh to a machine on the LAN by forwarding the port. All works well.
I want to move to a secure dynamic dns setup so that I can use tls certificates to also forward https traffic to a webserver in the LAN. The tls traffic will be terminated at the webserver and I plan on using let’s encrypt certificates.
This is what made look and found your service.
I have now created an account and added a new domain and it looks like mydomain.dedyn.io that will replace my no-ip one.
My Questions:
- Do I need to pay for something to be able to use this new domain?
- Does the service operate similar to no-ip where they are the registrars for their no-ip domain, so that my mydomain.dedyn.io belongs to desec and I am using a subdomain?
- Can I expect to use the service in the same way, where a ddns client can keep my public ip associated with the domain?
This are the basics I am unclear about, if deSEC is a dynamic dns provider only or both that and a registrar.
Thank you.
