Dynamic DNS is the fix for your changing IP problem. It links a domain name to your current IP so you don’t have to track it yourself.
Most routers support DDNS—check the admin panel. If not, use a client like ddclient or No-IP’s updater.
Free services: DuckDNS (easiest), No-IP (but requires renewal), or FreeDNS.
Worth it if you’re hosting anything at home.
