Kubernetes Home – what do you do if your ISP changes your IP addresses?

My ISP lets me have an IP for as long as my ONT is online. If it reboots, I'm likely to get a new address if it's offline long enough.

So my ONT is on a UPS. We only get power outages once or twice a year, but I havent had my IP change in two years now.

And yeah, when it changes I just go into my DNS and update the records. It's like a five minute job. I could probably automate it if I cared to figure out Hover's API. It'd take probably a dozen resets to get a return on that time investment so I just haven't bothered.

I'm not sure if this is a regular feature of fiber networks or just that my ISP is nice. So much better than DOCSIS when I'd randomly get booted off and given a new address.

most likely not DOCSIS related, as my ISP behaves with it just like you described your current ISP

OP here.

Yeah, I don't expect this to really change, either, in normal operations. But I'm a home user, I don't pay for a static IP address or a static IPV6 prefix.

But I'm a geek/hacker by heart, so curiosity sometimes get to me.

I did it because there was things to learn from it.
