Easy FIX for running a Massa node with a Dynamic ip

If you are reading this, you are probably running a Massa node from home and you do not have a static ip. In this case any router restart would change the ip and you end up in losing your rolls and important score points. Please note that the script will work only if you have a Systemd service called “massad”, if not, please make the apropiate changes to the “getip” file. Follow the link bellow…

Dynamic IP address is generally used for home network. You can easily add or delete new network devices. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to use your network devices to access the Internet. Since most routers Use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to automatically assign IP addresses, and most devices can choose to use the dynamic IP address selected by default, the configuration required to use dynamic IP addresses is the least.

How to get the dynamic IP address?

Basic concepts of dynamic IP and static IP:

Dynamic IP refers to how IP addresses are allocated when needed. What we call dynamic is that every time you surf the Internet, the telecom company randomly assigns an IP address.

Because IP address resources are very precious, most users use dynamic IP addresses when surfing the Internet. For example, computers that surf the Internet through mode, ISDN, ADSL, wired broadband and community broadband will temporarily allocate an IP address every time they surf the Internet.

Static IP address refers to the IP address assigned to users by ISP during installation. You can directly connect to the Internet without obtaining the IP address. Corresponding dynamic IP address and static IP address.

Differences between the two:

1. In short, using static IP, disconnect the network connection and reconnect with the original IP address, while using dynamic IP, the IP address becomes different after disconnecting and reconnecting.

2. Pricing: static IP is generally a fixed IP address owned by a dedicated server or a computer with dedicated Internet access, which requires a high cost. The price of a dynamic IP will be cheaper.

3. In terms of network speed: there is little difference between the two, and static or dynamic has little impact on network speed.

4. Compared with static IP, dynamic IP is more flexible and fast, while static IP is more stable. Nowadays, many network activities, such as network promotion and voting, restrict IP addresses. For example, only one IP can be registered every day, or only one vote can be cast for the same IP, which increases the demand for the number of IP. In this case, it is convenient and fast to use dynamic IP comparison. Static IP addresses can be used for enterprises that need to stabilize or host multiple applications. If you want to access your computer remotely, you also need to use a static IP address.

Dynamic IP means that when the client server uses proxy IP to send a request to the terminal server every time it accesses the Internet, it first passes through the proxy server, and then the proxy server makes a request to the terminal server instead of the client. IP address is an IP address randomly assigned by the server as a temporary change address.

Obtain the dynamic IP address from the dynamic host configuration protocol server. Dynamic IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server. When an Internet enabled device attempts to connect to the Internet, the server provides a dynamic address. Therefore, dynamic IP search is automated and makes it easier to manage the network.

With the development of the Internet, people are more and more familiar with how to surf the Internet, what problems will occur when surfing the Internet, and so on. Now the most concerned problem is how to surf the Internet safely. The IP address is equivalent to the ID card for surfing the Internet. If the IP address is compromised, your location will also be compromised. Therefore, most people choose to hide their IP address in order to surf the Internet safely. The most common is to use dynamic HTTP proxy. Let's learn what dynamic IP is.

Unfortunately, my (otherwise great) registrar Porkbun doesn’t have an API or any other way to automatically update DNS records. I’ve updated my IP manually until now as I have a semi-dynamic one that only changes a couple of times a year. But I won’t have that luxury anymore when I move, so I looked for ways to automatically update the IP. Cloudflare’s authoritative DNS server can be used for free and supports automatic IP changes, but they probably sell data and a third of the interwebs uses cloudflare and I don’t want my server to be unreachable along with a third of the interwebs when Cloudflare has an outage again, as it recently happened. I want to be as decentralised and independent as possible. But I also don’t want to pay for an authoritative DNS server in addition to an expensive .io domain just to be reachable from the outside. I spent many hours trying to find an alternative.

How Are IP Addresses Available To The Internet Classified?

An IP (internet protocol) address shows the device (host) that has connected the computer to the web and the location within the internet. How are IP addresses available to the internet classified? It allows you to find, receive, and transfer information from your computer to another computer.

Every computer than has a network connection has its unique IP address.

In a given network…

Static. Always static.

For the sake of the sanity of any admin or tech worth their salt. Static.
