rDNS - static ip to anything but my username

pauldore — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 14:52:46 GMT

Hi,

Would it be possible to NOT use my username as my rDNS for a static ip? My username is my real name, so it give me the privacy heebie-jeebies when browsing. No reverse lookup is required

Thanks!
Paul

@pauldore you can request its changed to either:-

<your-ip-address>.plus.com

if you have your own domain, then anything for which you create an A record on your domain pointing to the static IP

A staff member will pick this thread up and request the info from you

thanks MisterW - super useful, I wondered what they meant in other posts about pointing to the IP.

Yeh my IP would be perfect. I have domains but, nothing I'd want to point to my home broadband. It's really just so I can not keep changing the firewall to a database server all the time without connecting to a vpn.

Staff presence on the forum seems a bit light at the moment but I'm sure someone will pick this up shortly...

I’d like to do the same if any of the admins pick this up please. I already have a hostname set as an A record in DNS
