I’m trying to figure out how can I access my mikrotik locally but using the DDNS address.. Right now i can access it remotely, but when i’m at home if I need to access my mikrotik or any or my devices i need to change to the local ip instead of using the DDNS address.
I don’t, and I try to avoid using it myself
I see no problem having different subdomains for different services.
That and a local DNS server is a more “healthy” approach.
But with all that said, and with all the downsides of hairpin NAT, it is still the most simple way to do it.
And anyway, it is not for me to decide for other people.
But think about upsides. Well, just the one upside, it doesn’t even need more. It’s one-time config, you won’t need to touch it ever again, because it’s completely transparent and compatible with everything. It’s still a hack, no doubt, but it’s hard to not like it.
I’m running a few system in my home network, like cameras, home assistant and other stuff that i would like to be able to access them and no need to change the ip to the local ip..
