Tailscale is awesome, and Netbird is awesome, and Wireguard is awesome. It is a great time to be alive for sure. I have a guide that I wrote https://dynip.dev/guides/tailscale where I explain how and why they can exist
Agree that the OpenWrt DDNS scripts are a bit of a pain with keys secrets but the snippets function actually take the guess / how-does-it-work work out of the equation so I am pretty happy with that

Your guide sounds obviously written by an LLM. I think that's okay, and you might have directed the LLM's work, but don't say you wrote it; this misrepresents the guide as more carefully crafted and authoritative than it really is.
point taken
I would have been all over this a few months ago but I've recently been an enthusiastic convert to netbird recently. I had a look at your guide. I am using netbird reverse proxy to expose a few services and it's been pretty much flawless. It saves me from needing to set up port forwards or worry about a firewall.
Do you see an advantage or alternative benefits to also having a public dynamic DNS, because for me I am struggling to see any?
Okay well I guess we are still dealing with someone else's proxy in the way (also providing TLS termination which was a big thing I was after). So you share fates with that service. It's not just a case of hole punching via a relay.
It would be nice to get something like that also with easy TLS setup.
Okay you've convinced me. This is how I self host my own netbird instance and get a stable relay DNS and use the reverse proxy via that.
