I see, thanks for the explanation.
If I understand correctly, with a service like Tailscale that doesn't require Dynamic DNS even if your IP changes, there wouldn't be a risk of revealing the IP, right?
Well in that case, tailscale is running as a daemon, so it effectively is doing it's own little Dynamic DNS.
I suppose the point I'm trying to make is SOMEONE has to know your public Home IP. In the case of using tailscale, it would be the tailscale servers. But you would be correct that I don't believe it would be published to any public DNS servers.
In my case, I'm using cloudflare for DDNS.
The solution I describe comes with a bit of risk acceptance (just like anything else really).
Got It! Thank you very much.
