How do I find out what IPs to give, my IP doesnt stay the same? The local IP is hardly the one they want, it wouldnt make sense I think.

    Seems to be working fine for my VPN tunnel I use to get access to my home network, instead of an IP, it has the hostname + port to connect to it and technically I do have a non static IP. The hostname gets resolved via noip.com in this case to an IP address.

      That’s kind of irrelevant for a third party resolving where network traffic is coming from. They aren’t connecting to OP, OP is connecting to them. Assuming their firewall even supports reverse DNS lookups, it’d actually resolve to something like <Ipaddress>.res.ispdomain.com or something weird. And since it’s dynamic there’d be no consistent domain to give.
