Alternatives to DuckDNS for Reverse Proxy w/Caddy?

[jellykrabbypatty]

DuckDNS is nice because it's free but not nice because it doesn't connect half of the time and is extremely slow. Does anyone know any good free alternatives, or a cheap (a few dollars a month) domain I can buy and replace it with?

A domain name on Clouflare costs around €12 per year, and you can set up a dynamic DNS in their control panel.

Buy a domain, use a domain providers that has DNS services (Some has free), that setup is about a fews bucks per month :-)

I ended up using dynudns with caddy and purchased a domain through them. Seems way faster already. Um...cost like $10 for a year. Hopefully the LetsEncrypt in caddy was not the actual slow down problem and I won't have to find an alternative for that too.

Dynu gives you 4 domains for free. It's what I use and works well.

I switched from DuckDNS to desec years ago because of the down time and haven't had issues since.

What you use, depends on how much you'd like to maintain.. I use nginx so i was able to only allow TLS 1.3 and only IPv6 easily plus optimize it further.. But i started with caddy back in the days, then went to nginx proxy manager (npm) and now nginx web server.

What made you decide to leave caddy for npm?
