I used to set up my own OpenWrt DDNS scripts that update AWS Route 53 or Cloudflare DNS which solved enough of that problem for me.

Then Tailscale came out and I stopped caring about DDNS or CGNAT ever since.

Tailscale is awesome, and Netbird is awesome, and Wireguard is awesome. It is a great time to be alive for sure. I have a guide that I wrote https://dynip.dev/guides/tailscale where I explain how and why they can exist

Agree that the OpenWrt DDNS scripts are a bit of a pain with keys secrets but the snippets function actually take the guess / how-does-it-work work out of the equation so I am pretty happy with that

I now use both. DynIP for public-facing services (yeah I still have a few), and Tailscale for what only I need to access. Drastically reduced my attack surface.

Luckily I don't have to deal with CGNAT.
