I have a personal domain name. I got it because my first name was available with my country tld.

I use it for email, which I will most likely keep forever, but how about my self-hosted stuff?

I use Slack’s Nebula to access my self-hosted resources externally.

Would you mind exposing your VPS:es IP:s to the world by adding them as subdomains? In my case lighthouse1.myname.tld and lighthouse2.myname.tld?

I feel much more secure using DuckDNS for those IP:s as it should make it much harder to identify my attack surface.

Does it make sense or am I just paranoid?

I really don’t like the idea of my attack surface being easily identifiable just by my email or first name.

    Paranoid.

    For ease of use though (especially if any of it is going to be public or semi public) having an alternate domain is nice.
