Local Addresses

The following table contains addresses that can be used from Linux (/ Windows) and addresses that can be used from a local Chromebook. The reason for the differentiation is that Chromebooks default to using Google’s own DNS servers, which cannot resolve to home LAN addresses - though seems more reliable when wired.

For remote work on Chromebook I have set up a host called pi1p (Pi 1 Pipes) which forwards multiple relevant ports via pi1 for use over ssh port forwarding.

Home IP was fixed, but is now potentially re-assignable via DHCP. The current address ca be found as either dig bazdev.ydns.eu or doing curl https://baz.brusch.co.uk/myip from home. The setup for this is shown below.

MyIP Setup

In Nginx Proxy Manager, add a Custom Location of ’/myip’. In the setup for that location, click the ⚙ and enter the following code:

add_header Content-Type text/plain;
return 200 $remote_addr;
