I would like to host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn't static.

This. But I use namecheap and the built in tool on pfsense to keep an A record up to date if it ever changed.

    I have NameCheap as well. I was trying to set this up with the ddclient on OPNSense but the logs suggested it couldn't connect to NameCheap. What do you need to authenticate other than the DDNS passcode supplied by NameCheap?

    Oof. Set this up years ago now..

    Add the hostname IE public Add the domain name IE starkcommando.com

    This will be public.starkcommando.com

    Leave username blank (this was a gotchya for me, if I recall correctly)

    Then put the generated namecheap ddns password (not your account password) that matches the record in.

    All set.
