Dynamic DNS

I am using GCP for EVE-NG but I dont have permanent public IPs for the VMs as it has a cost and they are not running all the time. I am not really bother about that but talking with a friend a couple of weeks ago he wanted to have a public IP to his home lab using a commercial broadband that obviously provides dynamic IPs. So I searched a bit and found different solutions and found this:

For my needs it is enough. It is free up to 5 domains. And you dont have to install any software in your systems. Just a cron job calling a basic script with one line.

The thing I don’t like. If you don’t pay with money… you pay with your data. You have to use an account from Twitter, Google, Reddit or Github. Fortunately I have an account from one of those services that I dont use so it has minimum data.
