I was using it as a free domain for local things. I had a local address stored in duckdns as *.example.duckdns.org -> 192.168.1.x which pointed to an nginx reverse proxy that I then used to point at different services I host locally. It worked with letsencrypt so I could use https. I bought a domain from namecheap yesterday and have since switched to using them, with the benefit of the new domain being much shorter to type lol. I'm still working on getting letsencrypt working so that I dont have to pay for an ssl, but regular http works fine since its all internal to my network.
Oh I completely misunderstood! I thought it was a forwarder, not dynamic DNS. My bad! Makes total sense!
