Inspired in part by recent dropbox changes I'm thinking of taking a small box I have laying around and turning it into a nextcloud server (it doesn't hurt that even without making a single upgrade I'd get a significant jump in drive space). Being on residential internet I don't have an IP address that's guaranteed to stay the same so what are the current options to be able to access it from by tablet or laptop when I'm away from home?
The way to do this is to sign up for a dynamic DNS service. dyndns used to be free, but it isn't any more. There must be a few more out there, but the IP I have now hasn't changed in a year, so I haven't kept up with them.
Also, many/most residential ISPs block many convenient ports. One solution is to have port 443 forwarded to (machine) and to use sslh on that machine. sslh will act as a proxy for things like HTTPS, SSH, and other services, and forward these things to different ports based on what the packets look like.
